Sony’s first-party output has been very strong since the PlayStation 3 days, but thanks to the success of the PlayStation 4, it’s starting to see the commercial rewards. And speaking as part of a Game Lab panel in Spain this week, exec Shawn Layden outlined the organisation's “first, best, must” mantra,...

For the few of you out there still playing an online multiplayer game on the PlayStation 3, your hours are numbered when it comes to accessing the online portion of Starhawk. The 2012 follow-up to Warhawk is set to have its servers turned off at the end of play today, as noted in its PlayStation Store description.
As noted in

Is it hot enough for you? With the World Cup in full swing, it’s a good opportunity to melt in front of some football this weekend – but maybe not all of you are so keen on the drama in Russia. Either way, you’re going to want to avoid that burning beacon in the sky, so let us know what you’re playing in the comments section...

A slow news day story to kickstart your Friday: Drake dropped his new album Scorpion overnight which includes a song named Final Fantasy and appears to sample the legendary video game franchise. Listen carefully to the first portion of the song and you’ll hear a harp, which seems to be lifted from Final Fantasy’s legendary prelude...

An update for Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is now available on PS4, bringing a couple of interesting additions to the nostalgic package.
First and foremost is a new level named Future Tense, an entirely original creation from Vicarious Visions. As for where it's located, it's been added to Crash Bandicoot Warped's hub...

Look, we're not gonna lie: July is a bit of a dry month for PlayStation 4 games. Must be that sweltering heat, eh? Still, we've gone ahead and highlighted several titles that we think are worthy of your attention. And hey, if you don't like them, you can always get cracking on that backlog.
Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered:...

With EA closing Visceral Games last year and its Amy Hennig-fronted Star Wars game, codenamed "Ragtag", being handed over to EA Vancouver, it appeared that the future of the project was in doubt.
Now, in an interview with Eurogamer at this year's Gamelab conference, Hennig has announced that she left EA in...

Summertime can a weird period for gaming. Traditionally, big publishers don't bother launching their blockbusters during the summer months, although this trend has started fizzling out over the last few years or so. Still, looking at a list of 2018 release dates shows an absolutely packed latter half of the year, leaving June,...

Fortnite challenges provide a perfect reason to play even more Fortnite. You know, besides the fact that it's intensely addictive stuff.
You'll need a Battle Pass to get the most out of it, which costs real money unless you know how to get yourself some free V-Bucks, but a Battle Pass lasts an entire season of Fortnite, which is...

Crikey! 2018 has already been a stonking year for PlayStation 4, and we're only six months in. Games like Monster Hunter: World, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Detroit: Become Human, and many more already make this year one of PS4's best, but what about the second half? The release...

Those lunatics over in Japan have done it again, crafting a suitably mental video advertising the PlayStation 4's current games lineup. As with past campaigns, this latest insanity features actor and singer Takayuki Yamada, only this time, he's taken on a digital form.
The video actually starts off quite normal, but as it goes on,...

Ah, Summerset. The picturesque island home of the high elves. Vibrant in colour and steeped in magic, it's a wondrous Elder Scrolls setting that's yet to be properly explored in video game form, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset does a great job of bringing it to life.
Like last year's Morrowind...

Despite recent news that CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 will release on PS4 and not next generation, by the sounds of things it's still a long way off.
In an interview with Polish website Bankier (translation provided by WCCFTech) studio president Adam Kicinski claim

You'll need to follow the Haunted Hills treasure map to complete one of Fortnite's Week 9 challenges. Doing so will earn you valuable XP, which will contribute towards your Battle Pass rewards. This guide will reveal the Haunted Hills treasure map's location, while also showing how you can follow it...

Developer First Contact Entertainment has announced that its tactical PlayStation VR shooter Firewall Zero Hour will release on 28th August, alongside a slew of pre-order exclusives and a bundle that packs in the PlayStation VR Aim Controller.
Pitched as a 4v4 tactical team-based shooter, you'll work together to either...

Sony's revealed what games PlayStation Plus subscribers can get their hands on in July -- and it's not a bad looking month. On PlayStation 4, members get Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain and online-based fighter Absolver.
Elsewhere, Vita users nab Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma and Space Overlords (the latter is...

Republished on Wednesday 27th June 2018: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of July's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows.
Love it or loathe it, Heavy Rain is an important game. The drizzly depression session certainly didn't invent the idea of interactive drama – developer...

As we looked away from the screen to make some review notes, another player rounded the corner and started beating our motionless avatar. Not wanting to stand...

The whole cross-console saga has been rumbling for over a year now, and whichever side of the fence you sit on, it’s perhaps fair to say that Sony’s response hasn’t been great to date. Veteran executive Shawn Layden, talking to Eurogamer.net at Gamelab i

If you're a fan of doing favours for cute little animal people then you may want to check out Castaway Paradise, which is coming to PlayStation 4 next month, on the 31st July.
The game's inspired by Nintendo's Animal Crossing series, and it's been available on PC since 2015. Over on Steam it's got very positive user reviews, so...

With over 30 entries in the Bomberman series, you’d be excused for thinking the formula would be getting stale and running out of ideas. However, Super Bomberman R proves that there are still a few tricks up those bomb-filled sleeves.
Recent years have seen a plethora of spin-offs released, but this year’s entry is a return to the...

Okay, so Destiny 2's going through some rough times, but why not form your own opinion of Bungie's shooter by taking it out for a spin this weekend?
That's right, Destiny 2 is free to download and play starting this Friday (that's the 29th June) on PlayStation 4. You can even go ahead and pre-download it right now.
Any progress you...

Another week, another round of offers on the PlayStation Store. In addition to the brilliant Dragon Ball FighterZ becoming Deal of the Week at £34.99, the ongoing Digital Zone sale has been refreshed, and there are some great titles included that you may want to check out.
Included this time are games like Celeste, The Swords of...

Rhythm games have a long and storied history throughout gaming, and Tetsuya Mizuguchi is one of the most important creators tied to it, having created such masterpieces as Rez, Child of Eden, the upcoming – and incredible looking – Tetris Effect, and of course Lumines. So it’s cause for celebration that the...

This is the thirty-sixth week of our Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament, and the final week of top 8 matches. 128 characters enter, but only one will be crowned champion -- and you decide who that champion will be.
If you want to know more about the Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament, be sure to click...

About a month ago, we reported that PUBG Corp, the company behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, had issued a copyright violation lawsuit against the creators of Fortnite, Epic Games. Well, the studio now seems to have suddenly dropped all legal action.
PUBG Corp has been making a case against Epic since January 2018, and planned to...

Unravel Two was one of EA's only real surprises at its EA Play press conference, announcing that the sequel would be ready to purchase immediately. Now the publisher has released a demo on the PlayStation Store, so you can try your hand at this cutesy co-op adventure before you buy.
The demo consists of the game's first two levels, and...

The Gentlebros has announced a sequel to Cat Quest, its well-liked feline fantasy RPG. Cat Quest II: The Lupus Empire is making its way to PS4 early next year, and from the above teaser, it looks like it'll offer a similarly twee experience.
The major difference, however, is the addition of two-player co-op. You'll be able to play...

What’s the July 2018 PlayStation Plus lineup? And when will the July 2018 PS Plus lineup be revealed? With the madness of E3 2018 all over, Sony's selection of free PS+ titles for July 2018 are destined to be the biggest story of next week. In this article, we’re going to round up all...

We have to say, it's rather pleasant to play Far Cry 3 again. There's a simplicity to it that we appreciate -- the wildlife is present but less malicious, the main antagonist is still wonderfully unstable, and the Rook Islands still make for an enjoyable, picturesque backdrop. That we are playing this entry through again...

Temtem, a role-playing title from Spanish developer Crema Games, is heading to PlayStation 4. The studio turned to Kickstarter around a month ago in order to help fund the game's development, and it wasn't long before its goal was smashed.
If you've watched the trailer that we've embedded above, you'll already know that it looks a...

It’s taken six years for us to finally get our hands on the sequel to Rainbow Moon and thankfully the wait has been very much worth it. Rainbow Skies is bigger and better than its predecessor in pretty much every way.
There's a much stronger narrative this time round and you can tell that a lot more effort has been poured into...

The licensed LEGO games have covered plenty of cinematic ground - especially if you include the now defunct LEGO Dimensions line - and at this point they’ve become a bit of a video game institution. While you’d think the well would’ve run dry over the last decade or so, the arrival of LEGO The Incredibles, to coincide with the release...

You may recall from Sony's E3 2018 press conference that Dreams featured in very small snippets dotted throughout the show. Well, after the presser was over, Media Molecule stuck around for the after show party, where a few people from the studio performed a 15-minute set of music live just using this ambitious software.
We've embedded...

"More like New Gundam Broken" started out as a dumb joke that we slung around the Push Square office after spending just 20 minutes or so with this latest mech-'em-up from Bandai Namco, but here we are 20 hours later and nothing has changed. New Gundam Breaker is a disappointing wreck of a release, and yet another...

After spending several hours behind the wheel of The Crew 2's open beta, one warning light kept flashing up on the dashboard: it's too big. The map, a truncated version of the entire United States, is enormous - impressively so - but it's dull as dishwater. One of the major changes to this sequel is the addition of planes and boats, and...

Earlier in the year, we reported on the Video Standards Council Rating Board's decision to refuse Omega Labyrinth Z classification in the UK and other PAL regions. This was largely due to the game's depiction of underage girls, which was deemed sexual. Publisher PQube was quick to acknowledge the decision, and nothing more...

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a free first glimpse into the extended universe of Life Is Strange 2, which is set to debut later this year. Starring a 10-year-old named Chris several years after the events in Arcadia Bay, the entire episode takes place during a lazy Saturday morning several miles away in a new...

Life Is Strange is big business these days, with DONTNOD’s slice of life series spawning tons of merchandise and now multiple games. In the aftermath of last year’s prequel Before the Storm, all eyes are now on the franchise’s long-awaited sequel – and publisher Square Enix seems to recognise that it has a hit on its...

It seems everyone has been too busy watching the World Cup to go out and buy some new PS4 games. The latest UK sales chart is out, and for PlayStation at least, it's wholly unremarkable. God of War drops into third place, maintaining steady sales, and FIFA 18 is understandably holding firm in second. One of the week's...

In a rather open interview with Italian site Multiplayer -- as translated by Kingdom Hearts Insider -- Square Enix game director and artist Tetsuya Nomura admits that both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III wer

Sony ended its E3 2018 press conference with a lengthy new trailer for Spider-Man, introducing us to not one but four new adversaries: Electro, Rhino, Scorpion, and Vulture. They join Mr Negative in the game's roster of baddies, with a mysterious figure looming over Spidey in the final shot. Who could it be? Well, one voice actor may have...

So Devil May Cry 5 got a pretty cool announcement trailer during E3 2018, but we're yet to see uncut gameplay of Capcom's highly anticipated action title. That's set to change over the next few months, however, with director Hideaki Itsuno teasing a playable demo at Gamescom 2018.
The Cologne-based convention begins on the...

When it launched earlier in the year, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom was criticised by many for being a tad too easy. Indeed, only a select few battles offered any real threat to players who were at least familiar with typical action titles.
Although it seems a little late, Bandai Namco has addressed the complaint with the...

Some may have laughed at Sony's first Countdown to E3 announcement, but we here at Push Square Towers are extremely excited about Tetris Effect. Tetsuya Mizuguchi's penchant for entrancing players with audiovisual splendor paired with the timeless Tetris formula seems like a match made in heaven, and a new

Sony’s gotten very good at emptying players’ wallets, with virtually every week bringing a new round of PlayStation Store savings. This time it’s North America taking the charge, with an all-new Flash Sale cutting the price of copious must-own titles. Alien: Isolation, for example, is just $8.99 – and...

Inazuma Eleven Ares, the football-themed role-playing game from Level-5, will make its PlayStation 4 debut in Western territories next year. Buried deep in a press release spotted by ResetEra and shared by Gematsu, the Japanese developer notes that its new game will launch in Europe and North America in 2019, where it aims to “tap into...

There’s a full programme of World Cup football to look forward to this weekend, so game time’s likely to be on the short side – unless you’re desperately attempting to avoid watching grown men roll around on the ground. In that case, you may be eager to do a spot of gaming instead – here’s...

Big the Cat’s hanging up his fishing rod in favour of four wheels, as three new characters join the roster of Team Sonic Racing. The frog-obsessed feline will be joined by the forever friend-zoned Amy Rose and four different Chao characters – all driving in the, ahem, same car. The newcomers were revealed as part of a Sonic the Hedgehog...

Remember in one of the Batman movies where Alfred informs Bruce Wayne that “some men just want to watch the world burn”? We can’t help but write this article with a wry, Joker-esque smirk: Sony appears to have leaked a Fortnite console bundle, which looks set to release in Europe next month. This is going to go down...

A few weeks ago, Friday the 13th: The Game developer Gun Media announced that it was involved in a copyright lawsuit between the director of the original Friday the 13th movie, Sean Cunningham, and the film's writer, Victor Miller. Since the lawsuit is ongoing, no new Friday the 13th products can be...

Okay, let’s do it. The games industry is completely dead in the aftermath of E3 2018, with everyone except us apparently gorging on Turkey Twizzlers at all-inclusive holiday resorts. In fact, it would appear the only people left over are those running the Nintendo and Xbox social media accounts, who are so gleefully fellating each...

Part of what made IO Interactive's previous Hitman title so compelling was its mission locations. The episodic assassination adventure saw Agent 47 traveling the globe in order to carry out his contracts, providing a nice variety of environments to explore. If a recent leak is to be believed, Hitman 2 is set to feature a similarly diverse...

Ubisoft appears to be doing all it can to shout about the more diverse player options in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game allows you to select the gender of the main character for the first time in the series, as well as romance NPCs and choose from dialogue options throughout the a

Among other things, part of what makes FromSoftware's Dark Souls games (and Bloodborne) special is their implementation of online elements and multiplayer. The ability to leave friendly or devious messages for other players is a novel and entertaining way for players to interact, while full-on co-op and PvP fleshes out the overall...

The sequel to teen drama Life Is Strange will start on 27th September, a mysterious trailer has revealed. The video shows stitching on a hold-all, but doesn’t give much away. We’ll get our first taste of the long-awaited sequel in next week’s The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit – a standalone mini-story designed to...

The time has come for Ubisoft's open beta test for The Crew 2. Announced during its E3 2018 press conference, the beta starts today on PS4, and you'll be able to muck about in cars, boats, and planes until Monday 25th June.
You've been able to download it ahead of time, but if you've yet to install it, the file size weighs in at...

You know it’s the week after E3 2018 when you’re forced to fill your article quota with a game named Shikhondo: Soul Eater – but here we are. Actually, this does look cool if you’re into scrolling shooters: it’s a bullet hell game coming out of Korea. The art’s really good, and it’s all been inspired by Korean mythology,...

Searching for Hungry Gnomes is one of Fortnite’s Week 8 Challenges, and you’re going to need to find seven if you want to earn some XP to contribute towards your Battle Pass rewards. This guide will show all Fortnite’s Hungry Gnome locations, making completing this week’s challenge a breeze.

With the PlayStation 4 nearing its fifth anniversary, we had expected the Nintendo Switch to take the lead on Sony’s system in the United States hardware charts – but it’s just not happening yet. The Japanese giant’s popular platform enjoyed a fourth consecutive month in the throne in May, with...

Three Fields Entertainment is a small development studio that's headed up by a few of the figures responsible for the Burnout series, so we're very interested in what they make. So far, games like Dangerous Golf, Lethal VR, and the Crash Mode-esque Danger Zone have been fun distractions, but we've been waiting for...

Finding out where to search between a Bear, Crater, and a Refrigerator Shipment is one of Fortnite’s Week 8 Challenges. You’ll need to complete it in alongside searching for Hungry Gnome locations in order to earn precious XP. You can find out more about

E3 2018 is over, which means it’s time to start talking about Gamescom 2018 already. Capcom has confirmed that the recently announced Devil May Cry 5 will be playable at the Cologne convention – and if you can stomach waiting in line for an entire day, you’ll be able to get some hands on time with Nero et al.
The publisher...

Final Fantasy VII Remake was only announced three years ago, but there was good news for fans at E3 2018: the game is actually in development. And chatting with Weekly Famitsu – with translations via Gematsu

Even the most optimistic among you will probably expect Fallout 76 to launch in a less than desirable state when it arrives on 14th November, so it’s probably not worth panicking over the title’s beta being delayed on the PlayStation 4. This seems like it’s down to some sort of marketing arrangement, as PC players will...

This is the thirty-fifth week of our Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament, and the third week of top 8 matches. 128 characters enter, but only one will be crowned champion -- and you decide who that champion will be.

There’s not much going on in Japan at the moment, as evidenced by Record of Grancrest War being the best-selling new release of the week. The title moved just 11,871 units. It means that evergreen seller Splatoon 2 was able to secure the top spot with just 15k units added to its already substantial tally.
Elsewhere, the PlayStation 4...

Like many of you, we here at Push Square Towers are deeply saddened by the end of one of the best satirical Twitter accounts, @KazHiraiCEO. Posing as the then-CEO of Sony, the account would post hilarious, witty, and at times biting commentary about the games industry, and it'll be sorely missed. It...

Now E3 is done and dusted, Sony is back to its old habits of announcing little-known games coming to PS4. This time, the PlayStation Blog is highlighting The Spectrum Retreat, a first person puzzle game that's been in development for five years.
It looks quite eerie in the above trailer. Your character is staying at The Penrose...

Sony's Days of Play promotion ended yesterday, and it's promptly replaced it with a couple of new offers that discount both contemporary and retro titles.
The first sale sees hundreds of PS4 games going for under £12/€15, and there are some big savings to be made. Rise of the Tomb Raider, Titanfall 2, and Dark Souls III are all...

Many were left disappointed at the lack of Red Dead Redemption 2 at this year's E3. Rockstar isn't normally in the habit of attending the Los Angeles event, so it's typical we didn't see anything new during the show. However, one or two reports are coming out that the open world Western was, in fact, present, and not only that,...

Do you have a gap in your PS4 game collection? Sony has just unveiled its new PlayStation Hits range, a collection of acclaimed titles coming next month for a permanent reduced cost.
These games, marked with the above red branding, will be available digitally on the PlayStation Store and physically at...

Following on from last week’s rumour, it sounds like full-game downloads really are coming to PlayStation Now later this year. Kotaku reports that starting from September of this year, Sony plans to add an option that will allow subscribers to play various PlayStation 4 titles without needing to stream them;...

The announcement that Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is making its way to Western shores later this year was somewhat overshadowed by other E3 news, but it's a big win for fans nonetheless. It's being developed by Yakuza Studio, the team responsible for, you guessed it, the Yakuza series, and this new gameplay footage looks very...

What was the story of E3 2018 apart from cross-play and an abundance of amazing late-generation games? For me, it was player choice. This is nothing new, of course – the promise that you can “play your own way” has been a buzzword espoused by developers for eons, and it was a particularly prevalent selling-point in last...

Koei Tecmo probably expects Warriors Orochi 4 to reach its target audience whenever it releases, but 16th October in North America and 19th October in Europe doesn’t necessarily seem like the best slot. That’s within days of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Battlefield V, and Red Dead Redemption 2.
No doubt we’ll be able to...

Déraciné got a bit of a rough deal at E3 2018. This PlayStation VR exclusive developed by FromSoftware was announced just after Sony's main press conference was over, and what could otherwise have been an interesting and memorable reveal was somewhat overshadowed. However, a new post on the PlayStation Blog delves into some...

The first twenty minutes or so of The Lost Child set up an intriguing mystery, but once the game settles into a comfortable rhythm things become decidedly less compelling, and at times, an outright slog. The game begins in a Tokyo subway station with an investigative journalist who specialises in the occult named Hayato looking...

When the BBC announced that it would be broadcasting the World Cup in virtual reality this year, we expected a novelty experience akin to PlayStation VR’s Cinematic Mode, where you’re placed inside a swish interactive environment with the game playing on a television screen larger than the one in Cristiano Ronaldo’s guest room...

It's a day late, but this return to the No.1 spot on the UK charts is a great Father's Day gift for the Ghost of Sparta. God of War is back on top after a few weeks lower down the top 10, largely due to Sony's Days of Play sale which saw discounts on Santa Monica Studio's latest and greatest.
The sale also bumped...

We may be in the midst of the E3 2018 hangover, but the European PlayStation Store sleeps for no one. There’s a lot of content this week – even if it is of a lower profile. Perhaps most noteworthy is The Crew 2’s open beta, but there are a handful of PlayStation VR titles worth paying attention to as well.
PS4 Games:...

Some games, no matter how much work the devs put into them, just never come together. While some elements could be great, the overall experience just doesn’t click in any meaningful way. Illusion: A Tale of the Mind, from Canadian dev Frima, is a title that suffers from this. While its virtual reality title Fated: The Silent Oath is one...

The BBC is killing it at the moment, with its PlayStation VR powered World Cup experience in particular dropping jaws. However, it’s not done kicking competitor ITV while it’s down just yet, as it’s just updated the PlayStation 4’s iPlayer app to support 4K streaming on the PlayStation 4 Pro ahead of England’s first match versus...

It's always fun to get a peek behind the curtain when it comes to game studios. With much of game development still shrouded in mystery, it's very interesting when a company opens its doors to give us a glimpse inside.
A corporate focused website named 425 Business had the chance to venture inside Sucker Punch Productions, which we know is...

Remember Never Alone, that little game about Native Alaskan folklore from a few years ago? The team behind the snowy puzzle platformer has returned, and its latest game swaps the tundra for the seas in Beyond Blue.
It looks a little like a more realistic ABZÛ, but the truth is that this game is a fair amount more involved than that. You...

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is fast becoming the new The Last Guardian. We've seen some brilliant trailers for the game, and some impressive-looking footage from early tech demos, but it remains an enigma. We're no closer to a release date,

We've known about Metro: Exodus for some time, but we learned a ton of new information during Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference. We learned the official release date, how it will differ from the previous two entries, and some plot details.
In this guide, we'll round up everything there is to know about...

If there was one thing at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference that stung most for PlayStation fans, it was the announcement that Ninja Theory – the cult favourite developer of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, and Hellblade – had become part of Microsoft Studios. Despite over a decade of games on Sony hardware, this...

Sony’s less eager to talk about the PlayStation 5 than its competitor, but murmurs coming out of E3 2018 suggest that work is well underway. In fact, exclusive reports by both WCCFTech and Forbes claim that AMD’s next-gen graphics architecture Navi has been created specifically for the Japanese giant’s upcoming...

E3 2018 has almost killed us, so here’s a not-so brief WAYP to remind you that it’s the weekend. You didn’t think we were going to miss it, did you? Never.

How do you watch the World Cup with PlayStation VR? This year, the BBC is giving you the chance to watch Russia's World Cup 2018 in virtual reality, courtesy of your PSVR headset. All 33 of the BBC's televised games can be live streamed straight into your device, but what do you need to do to set things up?...

PlayStation Now could be about to get a whole lot more desirable, but we’d hold your horses before getting too hyped. An image has popped up on Reddit showing a screenshot from the streaming service’s user interface, and it appears to imply that a ‘Download’ option is being added to the application. Theoretically, this wou

It's when conversation begins to circulate about next generation hardware that we start to see concept art from designers, whether professional or not. French designer Joseph Dumary has released a few images of what he thinks the PlayStation 5 will look like, and gives some detail on how it will work, too.
Dumary's PS5...

The votes are in, and Push Square's E3 2018 Game of the Show has been decided. Hundreds of you had your say in our poll yesterday, and we have to admit, there's a lot of diversity in the results. Loads of titles, both old and new, were shown during this year's event, and we think the results reflect just how varied the selection...

PlayStation VR didn’t quite get as much attention during E3 2018 as it did last year, but it’s still a massive part of the PlayStation 4’s portfolio. And this montage trailer showcases just how many cool experiences are on the way – even if it is padded with a handful of the peripheral’s...

Bandai Namco recently revealed a few screenshots for its upcoming arcade flight sim, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, and that's just been followed up by a brand new gameplay trailer. Check it out above.
The dialogue is wonderfully cheesy as we've come to expect from the series, and the game itself is looking great. The weather conditions...

Bandai Namco has released a whole bunch of new screenshots from Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, along with some new details about the story and gameplay.
It sounds like weather is going to play a major role in dogfights this time around. "Risky maneuvers like rushing through thunderclouds to wipe out enemy aircrafts or avoid hostile...

EA announced the inevitable FIFA 19 during its E3 2018 press conference, along with a ton of information about what we can expect from this latest entry. The biggest new feature ties into EA's recent acquisition of the Champion's League licence, which provides a new mode based on the hottest European competition.
In this guide,...

All of the enthusiasm for The Last of Us: Part II is focused squarely on the sequel’s single player campaign, but let’s not forget that the multiplayer in the original – superfluous as it seemed – was bloody good. For many it’s one of the better competitive modes on consoles, and it’s certainly...

EA finally revealed more about the enigma that is the upcoming shooter MMO ANTHEM during this year's press conference at E3 2018. We now know that it's a shared-world shooter like Destiny 2, that it features a single player story to follow, and that there's a bunch of usual BioWare trimmings like classes, statistics, and...

The story of this E3 2018, as far as we’re concerned, has been great games. We all have lapses in our excitement for the medium – it’s natural. But if you went into this year’s event feeling a little fatigued, then no doubt you’ll have found something somewhere to rekindle your enthusiasm. Whether it’s the hushed whispers...

EA finally revealed Battlefield V at its press conference during E3 2018, and it's pretty much as you expected it. It takes place during World War 2, features one of those crazy popular Battle Royale modes, and a bunch of systems have been tweaked to emphasise team play.
In this guide we'll run you through everything we know...

Sony's yearly Best of E3 sale has returned to the US PlayStation Store to rid you of that cash burning a hole in your pocket. With hundreds of games included, there's bound to be something in here for everyone, so it's well worth a look.
Some highlights include Life is Strange: Before the Storm, Until Dawn, Persona 5, and Nioh.

Why doesn’t Sony allow cross-play on the PlayStation 4? It’s a question that first cropped up a year ago, when it was announced that Minecraft would operate across the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, but not the PS4. The question has resurfaced once again with Fortnite. So why...

Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced three years ago, but there’s good news for fans of the PSone Classic: the PlayStation 4 version is "actually in development". We’re being facetious, but Tetsuya Nomura’s update to The Verge deserves it – he had the brass neck to tell the tech site that the...

Sony is taking a lot of criticism at the moment with regards to cross-play. Fortnite was recently announced for Nintendo Switch at E3, and news came that this version of the game would be cross-compatible with all other platforms aside from PlayStation 4. It has also been reported that PS4 Fortnite players cannot use their...

Scoring in five different soccer pitches is one of the week seven challenges in season four of Fortnite.

There’s some speculation that Sony may be wrapping up PlayStation 4 development with the roster of exclusives on display at E3 2018, but according to Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, there are more first-party titles in production behind-the-scenes.
“In terms of are there any unannounced PS4 in development, yes there...

At this point, a lot of people from within the games media have seen Cyberpunk 2077 in action. Developer CD Projekt Red has been showing a 50 minute demo behind closed doors to members of the press, and by all accounts, it's pretty incredible.
Many have penned their thoughts, with the majority of articles covering...

E3 2018 is almost over, so attention is slowly turning to future events and potential press conference venues later in the year. Once upon a time, Sony was a big player at Gamescom, but it hasn’t used the German convention to announce new games in a long time. It did host a briefing at Paris Games Week last year,...

For the first time ever, Assassin's Creed is getting romance options. If you didn't already know, dialogue options will play an important role in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, potentially allowing you to change the outcome of quests, branch the story, and, of course, form relationships with various characters.
And where there are...

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the next project by the excellent From Software, who you'll know quite intimately from your time spent ragequitting Dark Souls or Bloodborne. You might have noticed we said 'project' rather than 'action RPG' – that was on purpose, because Sekiro really isn't an action RPG.
While it might look...

Finding the treasure map in Pleasant Park, and then the subsequent treasure, is one of the week seven challenges in season four of Fortnite.
Complete it and you'll get a bunch of XP that goes towards those tasty season four Battle Pass rewards.
In this guide, we'll detail the exact location of every single carbide and omega...

There were a lot of games on show at this year's E3. So many, in fact, that it's actually quite difficult to try and choose just one title that really stood out. We saw trailers and we saw gameplay, but which game put in the best performance? Which title has you super hyped?
As is the case every year, we want you to vote for your E3...

Don't want to play Cyberpunk 2077 like a first-person shooter? Good news: you don't have to. In Angry Joe's interview with CD Projekt Red, the developer confirms that the open world role-playing game will feature a full melee system. In other words, you can kick arse without having to fire a bullet.
Even better,...

You can brand me a big fat nerd if you want to, but I genuinely look forward to the executive interviews you get around E3 time. I used to anticipate Jack Tretton joining Geoff Keighley, his Hollywood smile only eclipsed by the sweltering Los Angeles sun. And then for a while it was Shuhei Yoshida’s turn to take the spotlight, the...

You’ll be able to play Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese – in fact, Sucker Punch is showing it to the press with subtitles at E3 2018. And this video of the title’s gameplay reveal really does feel right with the foreign dub incorporated.
It’s the exact same gameplay demo that we saw during the platform...

At the start of this Spider-Man developer panel, featuring several Insomniac staffers and Game Informer's Andrew Reiner, we saw a ridiculously unsubtle hint about a character that we may well see in the upcoming PS4 exclusive.
Silver Sable is a mercenary that resides in the fictional European country named Symkaria, the location...

We knew The Last of Us was successful, but we hadn’t realised quite how successful. On the survival horror’s fifth anniversary, however, Naughty Dog has revealed that Joel and Ellie’s inaugural adventure has sold a mind-melting 17 million copies across the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 since its original release in...

CD Projekt Red has confirmed that its upcoming open world role-playing title, Cyberpunk 2077, will have similar difficulty settings to its previous game, The Witcher 3. The information comes from an interview with YouTuber and streamer Angry Joe, who asks whether difficulty options will be included.
The Polish developer...

In every Assassin's Creed game up until now, harming enough innocent non-playable characters has resulted in you being 'desynced'. Essentially, this is a game over state -- you're taken out of the game and respawned. Now, we doubt most players attempt to go on regular killing sprees in Assassin's Creed titles, but if you happened to whack...

Telltale Games has announced that it is working on a Stranger Things adventure game. No further details were given, but it comes as a result of its recent partnership with Netflix.
Whether Telltale's adventure will take place before, during, or after the events of the popular show's first two seasons is unknown, but...

Appearing on Sony's post-conference livestream, Remedy Entertainment showed off a little more of its new PS4 game, Control. We got to see a pretty cool trailer for the game during Sony's presser, but the above video contains a brief look at gameplay, and it's looking rather interesting indeed.
You play as Jesse Faden who, on the...

Oh boy, it's that time again! Just before E3 2018 got underway, we asked you to take part in our 4th annual Push Square community quiz. You were tasked with answering 30 yes or no questions in a bid to try and predict the events of this year's E3, and now it's time to see how many you lot got right.
Can you beat last year's rather...

Sony’s not doing many (any?) interviews with press at E3 2018, but here’s a cool video of Shuhei Yoshida touring the PlayStation booth. It’s a marketing fluff piece (and not really a tour, if we’re honest) but it’s just refreshing to actually see the Worldwide Studios president again. We quite like how he’s constantly doing the...

Would the Push Square team please look away now? The Electronic Software Association has announced that E3 will return on 11th June, 2019. This means that there are 362 days until next year’s show gets underway. It sounds like a long way away, but you know how the old adage goes: time flies when you’re having fun.
So what...

You may have noticed the backlash to Battlefield V regarding the game's inclusion of women. Using the hashtag #NotMyBattlefield, passionate fans have been making their distaste for this abundantly clear, calling it "historically inaccurate". EA has now made its stance on the matter in an interview with Gamasutra at...

It's been an exciting few days for Kingdom Hearts fans at this year's E3, and to top it all off, Square Enix has revealed a gorgeous limited edition PS4 Pro ahead of Kingdom Hearts III's release. Oh boy, isn't it a sight for sore eyes?
However, it doesn't look too good for people living outside Japan, where Square Enix...

You could be forgiven for forgetting that Call of Duty: Black Ops III is free on PlayStation Plus right now – it was announced during Sid Shuman’s painful interlude in the Sony E3 2018 press conference earlier this week, after all. But with the PlayStation Store back up and running following some turbulence on Tuesday, we’re here...

This is the thirty-fourth week of our Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament, and the second week of top 8 matches. 128 characters enter, but only one will be crowned champion -- and you decide who that champion will be.
If you want to know more about the Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament, be sure to click...

There's currently a bit of a backlash surrounding Fallout 76. While we fully recommend waiting to see what finished game has in store before casting judgement, it's hard to ignore the fact that so many fans are expressing distaste over the title's persistent online world. If you haven't already heard, yes, you have to be online in order to...

There’s something tactile about virtual reality that Job Simulator tapped in to. The game was slight, but it was laugh out loud funny and extremely interactive, which made for a good three to four hour introduction to PlayStation VR’s features. Now developer Owlchemy Labs is back with Vacation Simulator, a riff on the...

The Last of Us: Part II’s big gameplay reveal this week introduced us to three characters: one we already know well, the other two are brand new. That’s right, in the opening scene of the all-new trailer, we see Ellie (Ashley Johnson) accompanied by Dina (Shannon Woodward) and Jesse (Stephen Chang).
Woodward joined the cast...

The Last of Us: Part II has been attracting criticism for its violence ever since its Paris Games Week trailer last year, and this week’s E3 2018 demo prompted a similar backlash. There are people who, quite simply, think the game is too violent. The new gameplay clips showed one character being disembowelled,...

The curtain has closed on E3 2018’s press conferences, which means that it’s time for us to cast a critical eye over the briefings and issue our all-important report card. Which of the publishers passed its summer exam – looking ahead at some of the ratings here, they’ll all be having trouble securing a scholarship...

It’s hard to believe that Resident Evil 2 is not only real but is releasing so soon, but here’s a look at some gameplay footage just to prove that Capcom hasn’t been pulling our infected legs. As announced earlier in the week, the action takes place from an over-the-shoulder perspective, so with Leon S. Kennedy in the lead...

Many of you will have grown up on franchises like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, so it’s really exciting to see both brought back to the fore. Last year’s N. Sane Trilogy was an ace reimagining of three of PSone’s defining games, and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy looks to continue that good work.
Take a look at some gameplay from E3...

When Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was announced during E3 2018, we all naturally assumed it would be Dark Souls in Japan, but a recent preview from PC Gamer reveals that FromSoftware's latest game is pretty far removed from what we've come to expect.
The publication was present during a press-only demonstration led by Yasuhiro...

Just Cause 4 is the latest entry in the explosive sandbox franchise that was announced during Microsoft's Xbox One press conference at E3 2018. You'll once again play as Rico Rodriguez, and you'll take the fight to The Black Hand in their home turf. Good luck!
In this guide we'll run you through everything...

We’ve all played Tetris before, as was pointed out in the aftermath of last week’s announcement stream. What we’ve never played before is Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s take on the legendary puzzler, but we’ll all get a chance later this year in Tetris Effect on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR. And it’s looking...

Sony’s been showing off Days Gone at E3 2018, and it’s looking like a fun apocalyptic playground to mess around in. The developer’s really talking up the sandbox aspect to this title, which means you have the freedom to approach missions any way you want to. You can go in stealth, for example, or all guns blazing – you can...

We're yet to see Cyberpunk 2077 in action, but same can't be said of journalists who are attending E3. According to them, CD Projekt Red's next role-playing game is looking seriously special -- the lucky b*stards have been able to see a full 50-minute gameplay demo behind closed doors.
Adding to the hype, the Polish developer...

Well, we’re not getting a Bloodborne sequel just yet, so Focus Home Interactive’s Call of Cthulhu will have to occupy our longing for Lovecraftian worlds. Developed by Cyanide and due out later this year on the PlayStation 4, you’ll play as a private investigator named Edward Pierce, who travels to an isolated mansion on Darkwater...

Wow, Concrete Genie is shaping up really nicely. The painting PlayStation 4 exclusive, which sees you using a magic wand to bring an abandoned fishing village back to life via vibrant graffiti, was on display during Sony’s E3 2018 livestream earlier today – and we have to say, we’re impressed.
This footage is from early in the...

Yet another free update is hitting Monster Hunter: World, this time adding the fearsome Behemoth of Final Fantasy fame. You can get a brief look at the beast in the announcement trailer above, and the update is set to launch later this summer.
This is all part of a collaboration between Capcom and Square Enix. If you missed the...

Nope, you won't be playing as a grizzled predetermined character like William Adams in Nioh 2. Instead, you'll be able to create your own custom hero. You'll be able to choose your sex and race according to game director Fumihiko Yasuda, who confirmed the addition during PlayStation's E3 2018 livestream.
It's unclear how much...

CD Projekt Red has stated numerous times that it's fully committed to creating a single-player role-playing game with Cyberpunk 2077, and that stance hasn't changed in time for E3 2018. The Polish developer is still adamant that the game is, above all else, a mature and deep RPG, much like The Witcher 3.
But is...

Sucker Punch already confirmed this, but for those of you who weren’t paying attention, it’s reiterated that Ghost of Tsushima will be playable in Japanese with subtitles. The game – which is striving for historical authenticity – will offer a dub as an alternative to the English voice acting. The Seattle studio’s working with...

RAGE 2, unlike its predecessor, won't contain any multiplayer modes when it arrives next year. The original RAGE had co-op and a vehicular combat mode, but developers id Software and Avalanche Studios are putting all their effort into a solo experience.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Magnus Nedfors, a designer at Avalanche, said,...

Fate/Extella Link, a sequel to the rather good Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star, which launched around a year ago here in the West, has hacked and slashed its way to the top of the Japanese software charts with ease. The Dynasty Warriors-esque title did better than Koei Tecmo's own Dynasty Warriors 9, shifting around 117,000...

Square Enix shined more light on Shadow of the Tomb Raider during its E3 2018 press conference, and it's looking pretty gorgeous we have to say. It's the latest game in the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy, and it's due for release later this year.
In this guide, we'll run you through exactly what it is, when...

Sony streaming live from the E3 2018 show floor, demoing an array of games and hosting tons of interviews with some of the industry's biggest creators. And you can enjoy everything live courtesy of the stream embedded below. Day two includes Death Stranding and The Last of Us: Part...

Trover Saves the Universe was probably the most leftfield game to be announced at Sony's E3 2018 conference -- or any conference, for that matter. It's coming from Squanch Games, a developer with a short history of bizarre virtual reality games, and while this latest title is no...

Cyberpunk 2077 is the latest open world role-playing game from developer CD Projekt Red. If you don't know who that is, shame on you -- you've almost certainly played its biggest game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Yes, it's that CD Projekt Red.
Though Cyberpunk 2077 was announced way back in 2012, we...

A new trailer for A Plague Tale: Innocence has scurried onto YouTube, and we've embedded it above for your viewing pleasure. This title, which comes from Focus Home Interactive and Asobo Studio, is making its way to PS4 in 2019.
For the uninitiated, the game tells the story of Amicia and Hugo as they struggle to survive in a medieval...

We've been seeing a fair amount of reports that the PlayStation Store is currently having issues, and we can confirm that the digital storefront is down for us as well. We're not sure exactly what has caused the problem, but trying to access the Store currently prompts the error message: "This service is...

In the original Jurassic Park movie when things start going a little bit pear shaped, the perennially optimistic benefactor of the world's first dinosaur zoo John Hammond reminds everyone that when Disneyland opened none of the rides worked properly either. Mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm cynically retorts: "Yeah, but, John, if...

Sony’s E3 2018 press conference was unlike any we’ve seen before – and, if we’re brutally honest, any we’ll ever see again. The platform holder mixed things up heavily for its showcase, but one thing remained predictably consistent: industry-leading first-party games. We’ve pulled together our trio of editors to share...

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently blowing minds at E3 2018. That's according to a number of video games journalists who have taken to Twitter in order to voice their first impressions. The game was shown behind closed doors to members of the press earlier today.
So, what's confirmed? Well, it's got a seamless open world, which means no load...

Hmmm, is that trouble we can smell brewing?
During Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference, we got a bit of an information blowout on Fallout 76 -- the always online, multiplayer Fallout title that launches in November of this year. However, even after the show was over, many fans still wondered whether they could set up private...

Sony didn’t date God of War or Detroit: Become Human until they were weeks away from release, so it looks like it’s going to follow a similar philosophy for its other big PlayStation 4 exclusives. And speaking as part of an E3 2018 panel, Naughty Dog has hinted that we won’t get a release date for The Last of Us: Part II until...

Sony has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops III will join the current June PlayStation Plus lineup, and you can download it now.
This ties into a deal related to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. If you pre-order the game, you'll gain access to four fan-favourite maps -- that's Slums, Jungle, Firing Range, and Summit.
Will you be...

Sony PlayStation’s E3 2018 press conference – also known as the PlayStation E3 2018 Showcase – is the event that we’ve all been waiting for, and you can watch it live right here. The platform holder’s promised deep dives on Death Stranding, The Last of Us: Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and...

Fortnite on the PlayStation 4 does not allow cross-console play, this much we know. However a bigger story has been developing since the release of the Nintendo Switch version earlier today: you can’t log in to the game if you’ve previously linked your Epic Account with the PlayStation Network. Well, you can, but you’ll need to...

It’s the one we were all looking forward to, but did Sony PlayStation’s anticipated E3 2018 press conference bring the house down? As promised, the company led on Death Stranding, The Last of Us: Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and Spider-Man, but it also revealed Resident Evil 2 and Nioh 2.
But what was your favourite game on...

Sony’s closed the curtain on a curious E3 2018 press conference, which had more surprises than a certain editor predicted, but was paced in perhaps the most bizarre fashion imaginable. Nevertheless, here’s everything that was announced during the Japanese giant’s showcase.
Sony PlayStation E3 2018 Press Conference Round Up:...

Catherine: Full Body will launch on PlayStation 4 in 2019 here in the West, Atlus has confirmed via a new E3 trailer. It perhaps once again raises a few more questions than it answers -- just who is this newly introduced Rin character, exactly? -- but it's cheeky in its obvious teasing.
Are you looking forward to...

As far as we’re concerned, The Last of Us: Part II is the standout game at E3 2018 so far, and Naughty Dog’s been talking a little bit about the levels of effort its investing into the sequel over on the PlayStation Blog. “We’ve completely overhauled our engine, developed new combat mechanics, created a...

Did you think The Last of Us: Part II looked good in last night’s gameplay reveal trailer? Well, the new gameplay details Naughty Dog just shared during an E3 2018 panel may just blow your mind. There’s a helluva lot to get through here, so forgive us the hastily compiled summary and let’s get into...

Depending on where you look, Hideo Kojima is getting ripped today. Death Stranding got its first gameplay demonstration during Sony’s E3 2018 press conference, and it looked early – I agree. Now you can criticise the platform holder for announcing the game too early if you like – clearly the ex-Konami man was desperate...

Overcooked 2 has been officially announced by Team 17. The sequel adds a few new ingredients to the winning formula found in the first game, including online multiplayer, the ability to throw items to each other, new levels, ...

Bethesda predictably announced a sequel to 2016's excellent DOOM reboot during its E3 2018 press conference, and to rapturous applause from the audience. The name's DOOM Eternal, and it picks up right where the excellent predecessor left off.
In this guide, we're going to round up everything there is to know about DOOM...

New Game Plus in God of War? You got it. Confirmed during Sony's E3 2018 press conference, Kratos' superb adventure will soon let you start a new run with all of your upgrades and equipment intact. The only things that won't carry over are the story-related bits and pieces -- you'll still have to play through the game in the usual way...

During its E3 2018 press conference, Bethesda blew the next entry in the Fallout franchise wide open. It's called Fallout 76, and it's an online survival game as opposed to an open world single-player RPG. Think a more casual Rust or Day-Z set in a post apocalyptic environment and you're on the...

Wow! In a showcase packed with promising PlayStation 4 exclusives, Naughty Dog once again rose to the challenge with a demo of The Last of Us: Part II that delivered on every level. We start out at some kind of prom, where a 19-year-old Ellie is living a normal life with her girlfriend. It’s typical stuff from the developer: subtle,...

Resident Evil 2 put in a shock appearance at Sony’s E3 2018 press conference – and even better is that it’ll release on 25th January. The game’s been built from the ground up for PlayStation 4, adopting a new camera perspective to offer a unique take on the 1998 classic.
“Both Leon and Claire have their own separate...

Ghost of Tsushima got a lengthy gameplay demo during Sony's E3 2018 press conference. It's got gorgeous environments and some brutal combat. Clearly, developer Sucker Punch has been watching old samurai movies.
The title didn't get a release date or anything, in case you're wondering, so just be sure to soak yourself in the...

As promised, Hideo Kojima brought a lengthy new look at Death Stranding to E3 2018, and it confused everyone. The gameplay still looks quite early, but it’s clear that the auteur has a mind-bogglingly bonkers vision for this PlayStation 4 exclusive opus.
Exactly what your objective in Death Stranding is remains unclear at...

An E3 2018 story so predictable we could have penned it ten days ago and published it when it was confirmed: Fortnite will not feature cross-console play on the PlayStation 4 as Sony doesn’t allow it. While the Nintendo Switch newcomers will be able to play with Xbox One, PC, and mobile players, any PS4 peasants will

What was announced at E3 2018? Quite a lot as it turns out, so we’ve compiled every press conference reveal in one place to help you to ensure you didn’t miss a single thing. There’s a lot to get through here, so without further ado, let’s get stuck in.
E3 2018 Press Conference Announcements Round Up:

Now, before you say anything, yes, the storytelling in Destiny isn't great and it never has been, but Cayde-6, the wisecracking robot, is easily one of the game's better characters. And his popularity makes this new trailer for Destiny 2: Forsaken that much more interesting.
We won't spoil it here, so give it a watch and let us know if...

In this latest video on Dreams from PlayStation Access, we're shown how Dream Surfing works, and it looks excellent. The analogy used here is that Dream Surfing is a little like a Spotify radio station; you can set parameters for the type of experiences you...

Despite Sony stressing they'd be bringing only four games with them to E3 this year, it was generally accepted there'd be something more on display, even if it was just small. Not only did Sony show off a plethora of trailers during what was sort of an intermission for the people there in-person, there were some pretty big...

We've seen a lot of trailers over the last few days (well duh, it's E3), but honestly, we reckon one of the best videos of them all didn't even show up at a press conference.
That's right, the Push Square Yakuza Fanboy Squad is back, and we declare that this E3 trailer for Yakuza: Kiwami 2 is right up there with the...

There's a playable demo out right now on the PlayStation Store for action role-playing title Shining Resonance Refrain. With its file size only adding up to 1.4GB on PlayStation 4, it's well worth a download if you're interested in a bit of anime-styled adventuring.
The game itself is set to launch in the near...

The fine folks over at PlayStation Access have put together another video on Media Molecule's Dreams, this time delving into the creative tools you'll have at your disposal. It's a similar demonstration to what we've seen before, but we can't help but be impressed every time we see what this game can do.
In this video, we see how easy...

Want to see more Spider-Man running on the PlayStation 4? Of course you bloody do! Sony’s uploaded a ten minute clip captured from the exclusive’s showfloor demo, and it sees the web-slinger swingin’ through Manhattan, mopping up crime and dropping wise cracks.
The demo ends with a pretty cool boss battle in a bank...

Sony ended its E3 2018 press conference with Spider-Man, and it didn't disappoint. The new footage of the game is dynamic, teases some new story elements, and introduces a whole batch of Spidey's major enemies.
We see Electro as he frees his fellow inmates from a high security prison off the coast of the city, and the situation...

Those of you who played the original Resident Evil 2 all the way back in 1998 will remember that there were two unique storylines for you to tackle from the perspective of two legendary characters: Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. The pair will return in next year’s PlayStation 4 remake, and as in the original,...

The trademarks for Chimparty and Knowledge is Power: Decades were discovered a few days ago, and Sony has just confirmed them both, along with a handful of other brand new PlayLink games. You can see a brief glimpse of them all in the above trailer, but you can also read a little more about each...

Sony streaming live from the E3 2018 show floor, demoing an array of games and hosting tons of interviews with some of the industry's biggest creators. And you can enjoy everything live courtesy of the stream embedded below. Day one includes Concrete Genie, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Hitman 2...

Kingdom Hearts III has been all over E3 2018, and it's shown up once more for Sony's press conference. This time, however, we were treated to a brand new trailer, and this one reveals the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.
All the major characters you know from the movies are...

Death Stranding added two new names to its all-star cast list in last night’s curious gameplay reveal: French actress Léa Seydoux and the Bionic Woman herself Lindsay Wagner. Both actresses will have prominent roles in the PlayStation 4 exclusive, alongside Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen – an insane cast.
Director and auteur...

Well, we didn't see that one coming. Nioh 2 is official, and it got a quick cinematic teaser trailer at Sony's E3 2018 press conference. There are no real details yet, but we assume Koei Tecmo will have more to share in the near future.
Are you up for a Nioh sequel? Keep your blade close in the comments section below.

As you’d expect, there’ll be a main thread to Ghost of Tsushima’s narrative, which will explore the arc of protagonist Jin Sakai in 1274 Japan. But there’ll be much more to the PlayStation 4 exclusive’s open world, which will form the fabric of the fiction. We got a glimpse of one of these...

Announced outside of PlayStation’s E3 2018 press conference – because Sony’s bloody weird sometimes – is news that Japan Studio and From Software are collaborating on a new PlayStation VR exclusive named Déraciné. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, this is the Bloodborne band back together, and...

If you weren't satisfied already by Spider-Man's cinematic showing at Sony's E3 2018 press conference, the game was shown off once again following the main show. Sid Shuman and Ryan Clements were joined by...

At Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference, the publisher confirmed that long-rumoured sci-fi title Starfield is in development. Unfortunately, not much more was shown or said during the event, but studio boss Todd Howard has spilled a little more information taking to Geoff Keighley on the YouTube E3 stream.
According to Howard,...

Justin Roiland has already had a hand in the gaming world with ACCOUNTING+ and Rick & Morty: Virtual Rick-ality, and this latest adventure game looks to follow his trend of weird, off-the-wall virtual reality experiences. Trover Saves the Universe was announced for PSVR at Sony's E3 2018 presser, and,...

As a part of SEGA's E3 2018 push, Valkyria Chronicles 4 has a slick new trailer. It's not all that long, but it does show some English gameplay while it presents an overview of the tactical title as a whole.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 still has a vague "Fall 2018" release window, so we have to imagine that we'll get a concrete date very soon.

Phew. For a while there, it was starting to seem like SoulCalibur VI would be delayed out of 2018, but Bandai Namco has put its foot down and delivered a concrete 2018 date. A new story trailer's been released as well, so be sure to give that a watch and get your hype flowing. SoulCalibur VI launches on PlayStation 4 on the 19th...

As Microsoft rattled off an unprecedented number of third-party announcements last night, I turned to the Push Square team and I said: Sony really is focusing on the big four. And then I had a quick browse of my favourite forums in the aftermath of it all, and rolled my eyes at the ridiculous speculation still going on...

Sony PlayStation confused everyone with the announcement of its E3 2018 press conference, but now that the dust has settled we have a much clearer picture of what the company intends to show. For many of you, this will be the “big one”, so you’re going to want to know and where you’ll be able to watch the PlayStation...

After the Walmart Canada leak, we thought it was a sure thing, but there was no sign of Splinter Cell at Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference tonight. It means either the game’s not happening, or it will put in an appearance at Sony’s briefing later on – but we’ve alrea

If you're up for trying The Division 2 before it launches in March 2019, you can sign up for the beta right now. All you have to do is click through here to visit the official site, choose your platform, and then log in to your Uplay account. Easy, although you may have to go back to the website's home page in order to properly set...

As we know, Ubisoft is returning to E3 this year with another press conference. Out of all the publishers that hold these shows, the French company tends to be the least predictable, often bringing some off-the-wall, or just plain strange, flamboyance to proceedings. It usually has one or two surprises up its sleeve, too, so it's...

A detail that many a SoulCalibur fan has been waiting on, SoulCalibur VI producer Motohiro Okubo has confirmed that character creation will return -- at least in some form.
Okubo appeared on Twitch's E3 livestream, and during a question and answer session, he said that character creation will indeed be a part of the...

Square Enix will be bringing a showcase of its own to E3 this year. The Japanese publisher obviously has a number of big franchises under its belt at this point, so we suppose a bigger presence at the Los Angeles event makes sense. You'll find everything that you need to know down below.
When is Square Enix's E3 2018 press...

Capcom officially revealed Devil May Cry 5 during Microsoft's press conference at E3 2018. Series director Hideaki Itsuno, who is responsible for 2, 3, and 4, returns to the helm after temporarily departing the position during development of Ninja Theory's DmC: Devil May Cry.
Devil May Cry 5 once...

Compulsion Games, the creator of Contrast, is now a Microsoft studio. The Canadian company was acquired by Xbox overnight, thus raising questions about whether We Happy Few will even release on the PlayStation 4. The good news is that, because work started long before the buyout, it will still launch on Sony’s system as planned.

Bethesda’s E3 2018 press conference has arrived, and you can watch it live with us right here. The loveable publisher’s likely to lead on Fallout 76, but will surely also spend time on the recently announced RAGE 2. What else could it have up its sleeve? Join us from 6PM PDT to find out.
Bethesda E3 2018...

Devolver Digital is back at E3 with its second press conference, and it's another gloriously over the top spoof of the entire event.
The character of Nina returns to present the brief presser, and she brings her foul-mouthed, overly aggressive style back to E3 with aplomb. This conference...

Bethesda fully embraced internet snark during its E3 2018 press conference, with boss Todd Howard making daft references to a bunch of different jokes aimed at his company.
However, the most notable gag of all came in the form of a full trailer for Skyrim: Very Special Edition, featuring American comedian, actor, and writer Michael Key...

With The Elder Scrolls VI freshly announced at Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference, speculation has already begun regarding where the game will actually take place. If you haven't seen the very brief teaser trailer yet (why the heck not? Give it a watch through here), the only information we have to go on is the sweeping...

The Elder Scrolls VI is in development, and Bethesda has a tiny teaser trailer to prove it. Studio boss Todd Howard suggested that it'll be a next-gen title, so you can probably expect to see it on your PS5 in a few years.
Still, it's official. Check out the incredibly brief trailer and feel free to speculate like crazy in the...

Fallout 76 got an info blowout during Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference, as expected. So, let's run down all of the big details to start with.
Yes, this is a multiplayer Fallout title. You'll be able to both fight alongside and against other players, all in the same open world wasteland. It sounds like the game requires an online...

Bethesda officially announced The Elder Scrolls VI during its E3 2018 press conference with a very brief trailer. Studio boss Todd Howard talked about it for a short time, and suggested that it will be a next-gen title. That means it's almost certainly a PS5 game, rather than a PS4 title.
In this guide,...

With many other titles in the FPS space ditching the route of a paid Season Pass to access post-launch DLC, it was thought that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 may go along with this trend too. However, this isn't to be the case, as the official Call of Duty Twitter account has tweeted out details of a Digital Deluxe...

Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference was both bumper in running time and reveals. The showcase had its fair share of lulls, but the publisher just about pulled things together with Fallout 76, Starfield, and The Elder Scrolls VI. Here's everything that was announced.
Bethesda E3 2018 Press Conference Round Up:...

The latest UK sales charts are out, and it's a pleasantly surprising result for Focus Home Interactive. Vampyr, from DONTNOD Entertainment, has debuted in first place in the all-formats chart, which is the publisher's first ever. It steals away another No.1 for FIFA 18, which has to settle for second this week.
Just behind...

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is getting brand new content, meaning you’ll have a reason to return to Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped later this summer. Set inside the threequel’s future world, the level’s been created from scratch by Vicarious Visions. It joins Stormy Ascent, which launched on the PlayStation 4 last...

Bethesda's Starfield is real, and it's a game for the next generation, according to studio boss Todd Howard. Speaking at the company's E3 2018 press conference, Howard wheeled out a short teaser trailer that shows... Well, not a lot. But it's definitely happening, and it's most likely a PS5 game.
Are you hyped for a sci-fi title from...

Here's our first proper look at crossover anime fighter Jump Force in action. Bandai Namco's released around two minutes of footage, and existing fans of the Jump series will recognise the arena-style brawling.
This time around, though, the title's opting for a more realistic edge. There's a grittier art style on display here, and...

Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference is the next big briefing on the docket, and you can tune in live right here. In addition to the reveal of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, we’re also scheduled to see more of The Division 2. And then there’s Splinter Cell: is it really happening? Find out...

Good lord, someone stop the leaks! Ubisoft's press conference is just under an hour away at the time of writing, but that hasn't stopped the release date for Assassin's Creed Odyssey from squeezing out early.
According to a leaked developer blog post (whoops!), Odyssey will launch on the 5th October, 2018. So yes, Ubisoft is releasing...

Square Enix’s pre-recorded E3 2018 press conference was a brief affair, but it had a handful of interesting games in it. There were also a couple of new announcements. Here’s everything it had to show.
All Square Enix E3 2018 Press Conference Announcements:
Babylon's Fall Announced, Developed by PlatinumGames
The Quiet...

Assassin's Creed Odyssey was blown wide open during Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference. It got a full announcement trailer (embedded above) and a lengthy gameplay demo (embedded below). And yes, as the leak prior to the show suggested, it launches this year, on the 5th October.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway here is that it's going...

Square Enix’s E3 2018 press conference kickstarts another big day for media briefings, and you can watch all of its announcements unfold live right here. We’re expecting to see more of Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Kingdom Hearts III during this hotly anticipated presentation – but could Final...

Square Enix has just tied a big fat Disney-themed bow around its E3 2018 press conference, but were you impressed with what you saw? The Japanese publisher went big on Kingdom Hearts III and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but also Babylon's Fall and The Quiet Man.
What did you think, though? Did the organisation deliver, or were you...

Devil May Cry 5, announced overnight, is built using Resident Evil 7’s technology. The game runs at 60 frames-per-second, and is leveraging the RE Engine for more convincing character models and photo realistic environments. In a tweet, Capcom said that the long-awaited sequel “features intense action, amazing graphics...

Alongside The Elder Scrolls VI, Bethesda announced yet another next gen game that's been rumoured for a while: Starfield. Another thing it shares in common with The Elder Scrolls VI is that we really don't know anything about it other than what we can gleam from the official trailer.
In this guide, we'll detail everything we know...

The curtain’s just closed on Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference, and there were a heap of games on display during the 90 minute showcase. The highlights included Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Beyond Good & Evil 2, and Skull & Bones – but there were several other titles on display, including The Division 2. Here’s a full...

Is this the strangest E3 2018 announcement so far? Devolver Digital has partnered with FromSoftware to bring this obscure game to PS4 in an enhanced form entitled Metal Wolf Chaos XD.
If you've not heard of it before, we don't blame you. "FromSoftware originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004,...

Bethesda announced a brand new Elder Scrolls game for mobile devices at its E3 2018 presser. Named The Elder Scrolls: Blades, it's a first person RPG that includes elements from the main games, such as a story, quests, and combat with melee and magic. There's also an Arena mode where you can duke it out with other players, and Abyss,...

Babylon's Fall has been announced at Square Enix's brief E3 2018 press conference. It's the new project from PlatinumGames, and it's coming to PS4 in 2019.
Sadly, we don't have an awful lot to go on beyond the above trailer, which depicts a historical timeline before cutting to a short...

SEGA’s traditional c*ck rock has been brought out, which means you know it’s about to get serious with Team Sonic Racing. The publisher’s been teasing Sumo Digital’s spin-off for a few weeks now, but finally here’s a proper trailer to feast on.
For those of you who aren’t in the loop-the-loop, the game has a team racing...

Wolfenstein will return next year, in '80s spin-off Wolfenstein: Youngblood. You'll play as series hero B.J. Blazkowicz's twin daughters, in a Nazi occupied Paris. The title will emphasise co-op, but you'll be able to play solo as well.

We’re not sure whether anyone was going to buy Starlink: Battle for Atlas on the PlayStation 4 anyway, but they certainly won’t when they realise the toy-based open world affair will ship without Star Fox on Sony’s system. Naturally, the iconic pilot will be performing barrel rolls on the Nintendo Switch only.
Nevertheless, the...

We figured it was about time to see a sequel to the very well received Doom, and here's our first glimpse. It's called Doom Eternal, and the above teaser trailer has got us all excited for a trip back to Hell.
Unfortunately, that's all we know for now. The name is interesting; we're not sure if it's a straight sequel to the last game, or...

Our mother always used to tells us: it’s the quiet ones you want to watch out for. And it looks like Square Enix’s new PlayStation 4 game, The Quiet Man, is all about a (potentially deaf?) introvert who rises up to achieve greatness. Or something? Hell if we know: the game was just announced during the company’s E3 2018 press...

Life Is Strange is evolving into some giant connected universe, and The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is just a small part of that. Due out on 26th June as a free PlayStation 4 download, the standalone narrative adventure has been developed in conjunction with Life Is Strange 2, and serves as an introduction to...

As rumoured much earlier in the week, Fallout Shelter will launch today on the PlayStation 4, bringing with it a Platinum Trophy and some top-notch community management. The title has been downloaded over 120 million times on other platforms, which is an outrageous number. It'll still be free-to-play on PS4.

The Crew 2 got a brand new trailer at Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference, which you can see above. It's looking pretty decent ahead of its 26th June release date, but the big news is that an open beta will be taking place a little later this month on PS4.
The beta will allow you to play the game between the 21st and the 25th...

As teased earlier in the month, Ikaruga will finally make its PlayStation debut on 29th June. The legendary shmup will set you back $9.99, and will support 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro. It’s a port of the PC edition, so you can expect all of the bonus features that made their way into that release – including screen rotation if you...

We’re knee-deep into E3 2018 press conference season now, with Bethesda just putting the final touches to its showcase. The popular publisher showcased Fallout 76 and RAGE 2, as well as Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI.
But what did you think of the firm’s showing? Was it bombastic or did it bore you to tears? What do you...

Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise -- the game's confirmed Western title -- is officially heading West later this year, SEGA has announced. The adaptation is developed by the team behind the Yakuza series, and has a very similar gameplay structure. It launched in Japan earlier in the year.
It comes to North American and Europe...

Well, it looks like Fist of the North Star is heading West, if a supposed Amazon leak is to be believed. According to the online retailer, it'll be called Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise outside of Japan. Decent subtitle, to be honest.
Given that the leak has popped up during E3, it's probably safe to assume that an...

Ubisoft once again showed off the highly-anticipated Beyond Good & Evil 2 during its E3 2018 press conference. We learned more about the prequel's plot and characters, but very little about the actual release date – which we're gagging for at this point.
We did see pre-alpha footage of one of...

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age got a cool new trailer during Square Enix's E3 2018 showcase. It's very story-focused, and gives us a better look at the game's colourful cast of characters.
Dragon Quest XI is out later this year on PlayStation 4 -- the 4th September, to be precise. Are you hyped for this latest...

Remember PREY? It came out just over a year ago, was well received, and is beloved by its players. In an effort to possibly counteract poor commercial performance, Bethesda has announced a slew of updates and new content heading to Arkane Studios' sci-fi horror adventure.
A free update has already hit the...

We’ve been seeing drips and drabs of Shadow of the Tomb Raider for some time now, but Square Enix just gave the PlayStation 4 sequel its first proper demonstration at its E3 2018 press conference. The showcase started with a cut-scene from the beginning of the game, before transitioning into gameplay.
It looks like a new Tomb Raider...

Did you know The Elder Scrolls has its very own card game spin-off called The Elder Scrolls Legends? Well, it does, and it's heading to PS4 later this year. The above trailer is for the mobile version of the game, but it gives you enough of an idea of what to expect.
Do you like the look of The Elder Scrolls Legends? Are you a fan of card...

Later this Summer, Square Enix will be bringing a special event to the world of Eorza in Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn.
With the help of Capcom, Monster Hunter: World is arriving in the MMO, giving players the chance to assist a cheeky little Palico and hunt down a deadly Rathalos. More information should be...

Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference pointed a big, bright spotlight at a selection of blockbuster games, including Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and The Division 2. But the showcase also centred on Beyond Good & Evil 2, Skull & Bones, and more.
What did you think of the French firm’s briefing this year, though? Were you happy with...

As expected, Just Cause 4 made an appearance at Square Enix's E3 2018 press conference, and we got to see a little more gameplay footage in this new trailer.
The video talks us through the new additions to Just Cause 4, the most prominent of these being the extreme weather system. As you're flying around causing mayhem as Rico, you'll...

The Quiet Man, announced during Square Enix’s E3 2018 showcase earlier today, is “an immersive story driven cinematic action experience seamlessly blending high-production live action, realistic CG, and pulse-pounding action gameplay”. It’s being developed by Human Head Studios, the creators of the original Prey...

We were treated to a first look at Rage 2's extended gameplay trailer at Bethesda's E3 conference this evening, and just as expected, it's bringing all the fun, fire, and fury, with maybe just a little more crazy.
Developers Avalanche Studios took to the stage to reveal the trailer, right after a energetic performance by...

As was always going to be the case, The Division 2 turned up in a big way during Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference. The team-based shooter got a new story trailer, which we've embedded above, but it was the details that the publisher put forth that are really worth writing about.
For starters, Ubisoft says The Division 2's...

Critically acclaimed role-playing title Divinity: Original Sin II has been handed a PlayStation 4 release date. After much success on PC, the title was confirmed for consoles earlier this year.
The sequel builds on the first game -- already a very enjoyable RPG -- in almost every way. Again, it's been a real hit with...

For Honor will be getting a big new update later this year, adding a whole new faction to the game alongside a fresh mode of play.
In October, Ubisoft plans on releasing the Marching Fire update, adding four Chinese warriors to the title. Meanwhile, the new game mode is called Siege, pitting teams of four against each...

Skull & Bones received not one but two new trailers at Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference. The first, embedded above, is a new cinematic trailer that sets the scene, while the below video is a decent look at gameplay of this shared world multiplayer pirate game.
It's looking rather good. You're able to customise your ship,...

Transference was a curiosity at Ubisoft's E3 2018 conference last year. There had been relatively little noise about the title since, but we have a much firmer idea of what to expect as Elijah Wood took to the stage to enlighten us on what to expect from the game coming from Ubisoft and his production company,...

One of the few games that didn't leak before E3 2018 was Trials Rising, an all new entry in the series coming in February 2019. Announced at Ubisoft's press conference, various elements of the game's design have been influenced and shaped by the Trials community, with some having direct input on things like track design, the...

Tearaway creator Rex Crowle’s been beavering away on whimsical co-operative adventure Knights and Bikes for some time now, but it’s really looking great in its E3 2018 trailer. The title, which is inspired by the likes of Earthbound, sees you assume the roles of Nessa and Demelza, two girls who get their first taste of freedom...

Wow, this is a pretty big leak. A whole slew of screenshots from Assassin's Creed Odyssey have appeared online, showcasing the game's world, menus, parts of the map, boat sailing, combat, dialogue options, and the face of the title's protagonist.
Going by the pics, you'll once again have control over an avian ally who's able to...

Bethesda's back with another press conference, or showcase, at this year's E3. It may not be the biggest publisher of the bunch, but the company has been very consistent with its showings over the last several years. We can see Bethesda presenting yet another strong showing at E3 2018. Below, you'll find everything that you need...

ANTHEM, with the greatest of respect, does not look like a BioWare game. Well, not in the traditional sense, anyway. Many fans are wondering what the future holds for Mass Effect, then. Is this the studio’s new direction – or is there a chance it could return to its dialogue-heavy role-playing franchise in the...

We’ve always said that you can’t truly judge an E3 press conference until you work it; the sheer number of news articles in the aftermath is the real test of how many games were on display. And let us tell you, Microsoft just sent us into overdrive in a way that not even some Sony briefings have: there were an insane...

Sony Computer Entertainment presents. The black screen with the plain white font. It may have changed to Sony Interactive Entertainment in more recent years, but it’s been a part of every PlayStation exclusive for over 20 years. The word is thrown around a lot, but it really is iconic at this stage.
So what...

Sony’s concluded its PlayStation E3 2018 Countdown, wrapping up five daily reveals across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR. Here’s a roundup of everything it had to show:
All Sony's E3 2018 Countdown Announcements:
Tetris Effect Brings a Trippy Take on a Classic to PS4, PSVR
PS4 Exclusive Days Gone Sad

Typical. Just when you wanted a reasonably quiet Sunday ahead of the inevitable E3 rush, leaks happen all over the place. This time, Just Cause 4 screenshots have poured onto the internet, confirming that Rico Rodriguez's next adventure is definitely happening.
Honestly, the screenshots don't tell us much. It's open world, there are...

As some were expecting, From Software's new game has been revealed at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference. It's called Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and looks to be the studio's take on samurai.
It appears to adopt a similar tone to that found in Bloodborne, though is a little more colourful and little less bleak...

Tales fans, rejoice! What we once thought would never happen no matter how much we cried has become a reality: Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition is definitely happening.
We sniffed out rumours of it only this week, when an official site for the game was discovered. Given Bandai Namco's resistance to re-releasing...

Microsoft’s always indicated that it wants its own Naughty Dog, and so after Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice launched first on PlayStation 4 – it’s just bought developer Ninja Theory. The acquisition does make sense: it’ll presumably allow the Cambridge developer to work on much bigger games, without...

When does E3 2018 start? It’s probably the question you’re asking as the summer approaches, right? Otherwise known as the Electronic Entertainment Expo, E3 is undoubtedly the biggest date in the gaming calendar, as platform holders and publishers descend on Los Angeles to show off their latest and greatest...

Sony’s counting down to E3 2018 with a brand new game announcement every single day. And in the aftermath of the likes of Tetris Effect, Days Gone, Twin Mirror, and more, its PlayStation Countdown concludes with the announcement of an eagerly anticipated title coming to PlayStation VR. Join us live from 8AM...

When Skate 4 failed to materialise at EA's press conference, many people turned to Microsoft hoping for an announcement. Funnily enough, a skateboarding game did feature at the Xbox presser, but it wasn't quite the title people were expecting.
Named Session, this looks to be an authentic take on the sport, similarly to the...

Dying Light 2 got a surprise announcement at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, and you can see the first gameplay in the video above.
The sequel features branching pathways that directly impact the open world. The example given is a group of black market dealers who want your help in selling a supply of water. You can...

Dead or Alive 6 appeared out of nowhere earlier in the week, and now IGN's pumped out ten whole minutes of gameplay footage. You can catch it above.
Overall, the game's looking pretty darn slick. It's got an especially smooth visual style, and the introduction of a resource meter allows for either a bone-crunching critical hit, or...

Microsoft Xbox’s E3 press conferences always prove a worthy watch for PlayStation fans, as they’re often packed to the rafters with titles that will wind up on PS4 anyway. This year is expected to be no different, with Cyberpunk 2077, Splinter Cell, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and more all...

Jump Force brings a bunch of popular anime and manga properties to PlayStation 4 in 2019, and it looks to be some sort of crossover brawler. Going by the reveal trailer embedded above -- which was shown at Microsoft's E3 2018 presser -- it's probably going to be in the same vein as the other Jump fighting games.
It's...

It’s the one that PlayStation VR fans have been holding out hope for: Beat Saber is coming to PlayStation 4. The viral sensation sees you wielding a lightsaber in each hand, and smashing through blocks to the sound of electropop. It’s a wonderfully imaginative mechanic that looks both supremely difficult and outrageously satisfying...

Fans have been waiting for Kingdom Hearts III for a very long time, and over the last year or so, a 2018 release date has been a shining beacon of hope. The good news is the elusive game has at last been granted a concrete release date. The bad news is it misses 2018. Kingdom Hearts III releases on 29th January 2019, just falling...

To be fair to the Xbox maker, Microsoft put on a rock solid press conference at this year's E3, showing off a whopping 50 upcoming games. While a bunch of them (15, in fact) were exclusive to the console, a ton more were just getting a world premiere. That means the vast majority of these games are also coming...

Well, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally back. CD Projekt Red's next role-playing game showed up at the end of Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, as expected, in the form of a cinematic trailer.
The trailer itself is absolutely superb -- sick synth beats included -- but before you crash into the comments section to shout about it, no, there was...

Detroit: Become Human, the very likeable PlayStation 4 exclusive from Parisian developer Quantic Dream, has sold one million units worldwide in two weeks. This makes it the studio’s fastest selling title, as it took Heavy Rain five weeks to achieve the same feat. The sci-fi adventure’s already off to a great...

Devil May Cry 5 was formally announced during Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, and we really didn't see much at all of Dante. Short of a brief cameo at the end – during which Dante had his luscious grey locks back – we spent most of the time watching Nero beat people up with his new metal hand.
It looks...

Open world games are amazing fun, but we’ve always been fond of the sandboxes that you find in Hitman. The levels in these games aren’t necessarily open world, but they’re very large and meticulously designed, allowing for an enormous range of gameplay potential. And one of the early stages in Hitman 2, the sun-baked setting of...

EA Sports has a reputation for releasing annual FIFA titles with the slightest of adjustments over the previous year’s version. While it’s been confirmed that this year’s entry – which launches on 28th September – will include the official UEFA Champions League license, the developer has also made its customary tweaks...

You get the feeling that Ubisoft wanted to tone down the "gamer speak" for this first look at The Division 2, but it's still pretty bloody terrible. Throughout the gameplay demo that was shown at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, we were treated to annoyingly fake dialogue between the people supposedly playing the game. If...

Looks like Sony’s refreshing its PlayLink line, as it’s trademarked Chimparty and Knowledge Is Power Decades in Japan. The latter is likely to be a sequel to Wish Studios’ likeable quiz game, while the former sounds like some kind of casual party experience.
Don’t expect either title to be announced...

One game that didn't get leaked this E3 was The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, announced at Microsoft's press conference. It comes from DONTNOD Entertainment, creators of Life is Strange.
Captain Spirit is also set in the Life is Strange universe, and tells an original story about the titular character. The...

Fallout 76 got a new in-engine trailer during Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, giving us just a touch more insight into what the game will be about.
According to Bethesda, the title will feature an open world that's four times as big as the one in Fallout 4. No release window or any further details were given, so expect an...

Square Enix has unveiled a new gameplay trailer for its third instalment to the Tomb Raider franchise, Shadow of The Tomb Raider, featuring a seasoned Croft and all new locations to explore.
Shadow was announced back in March, but Square Enix have kept hush-hush until now, giving us little more than...

4A Games gave the world its first glimpse of its newest game, Metro: Exodus, at Microsoft's E3 conference last year, so it was no surprise to see Artyom and his wonderfully bleak Russian wasteland grace the stage again. Rather than a more structured , guided demo, we instead got a variety of brief snippets of...

We were quite taken by the reveal trailer for Afterparty, the new game from the creators of Oxenfree. In this brand new gameplay footage, we see protagonists Milo and Lola come to realise their hellish circumstances and proceed to a dive bar to drown their sorrows.
It all looks like it operates in a similar vein to Night School Studio's...

During Microsoft's Xbox E3 press conference, Square Enix showed off a brand new trailer for Kingdom Hearts III, which appears to feature a whole lot of characters from the movie Frozen. We also saw many from Tangled, Monsters Inc., Toy Story, Hercules, and Mickey Mouse.
An interesting feature we noted was that you can...

After a slew of leaks, Just Cause 4 has been officially announced at Microsoft's packed E3 2018 conference.
You can check out the debut trailer above, and it's your typical explosive, over the top action. A release date was also confirmed; Just Cause 4 will launch on 4th December 2018 on PS4.
Are you excited for Rico's next...

An interesting detail that pops up on Geoff Keighley's E3 2018 livestream schedule, the team behind Crash Banidcoot N. Sane Trilogy will be joining Geoff in order to reveal a "first look at something new". It's happening on Monday at 17:30 Eastern time.
Naturally, people are already losing their minds over the...

There was a big, skateboard-shaped hole in EA’s big E3 2018 press conference today: where was Skate 4? Expectations, as they so often are, were raised to astronomical levels earlier this week when the publisher unceremoniously re-enabled Skate 3’s servers on last-gen consoles. Many, perhaps not unreasonably, assumed that it signalled...

Activision is gearing up to show off Spyro: Reignited Trilogy at E3 2018, and it's just revealed the key artwork that you'll see on store shelves when the game launches this September.
Replacing the current placeholder art, this adopts a very similar style to the box art for Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Spyro, like Crash, is the focal...

You’ve got to feel for Sony Bend sometimes. The studio can’t ever seem to catch a break with Days Gone, but in the wake of a positive Game Informer cover story campaign and a decent release date reveal earlier this week, everything was looking good for the PlayStation 4 exclusive. And then ANTHEM just announced that...

Sony’s counting down to E3 2018 with a brand new game announcement every single day. And in the aftermath of Tetris Effect, Days Gone, and Twin Mirror, its PlayStation Countdown continues with the announcement of a brand new PlayStation VR title. What on Earth is it? Join us live from 8AM PT/4PM BST to find...

So, ANTHEM is starting to look a lot like Destiny, but unlike Bungie's divisive sci-fi shooter, ANTHEM won't actually have any kind of competitive multiplayer component. Speaking to Game Informer, BioWare's Mark Darrah confirms that the game will only feature friendly co-op play when it comes to online shenanigans.
You'll also be...

Pre-orders for The Walking Dead: The Final Season are now live on the PlayStation Store, and the purchase page has revealed a few more interesting tidbits about Clementine's final episodic adventure. Most importantly, the last season will be four episodes long, making it the shortest entry yet with one less chapter than its...

Hey look, another E3 leak! This time around, we now know that Fallout Shelter is coming to PS4 after its Trophy list has just popped up on Exophase.
The game has been available on phones and Xbox One for quite a while now, but this will be its first appearance on a PlayStation device. The title allows you to create your own shelter,...

Electronic Arts has just wrapped up its E3 2018 curtain raiser with its EA Play 2018 press conference, where it showed off new gameplay footage of ANTHEM and Battlefield V. But the real surprises were Unravel Two and Sea of Solitude.
But what did you think of the publisher’s show this year? Did it improve on last year’s...

What did EA announce at its E3 2018 press conference, then? Well, despite having a rather lengthy running time, the latest EA Play 2018 event was surprisingly short on software reveals and showcases. ANTHEM was, as you’d expect, the biggest game on stage – but here’s the full roster of reveals that the...

A quick note for those of you planning to pick up Unravel Two, which was announced and released hours ago: there’s no online co-op. Despite the game having a big multiplayer focus, it can currently only be played in local multiplayer. There is, obviously, a single player option as well.
This means that you’re going to have to...

Although we didn't actually get to see the game in any capacity during EA's conference, it's now confirmed that the publisher's next big Star Wars title will be called Jedi: Fallen Order. And yes, as if the name didn't give it away, you'll be playing as a Jedi, which means lightsabers and all that.
Fallen Order is actually Respawn...

The EA Play 2018 press conference marks the beginning of E3 2018 – and you can watch it live right here. Electronic Arts is expected to unveil more of ANTHEM during its briefing, and we’ll surely get some new snippets of Battlefield V to boot. Could there be any surprises on the cards, though? Some kind of Skate 4 reveal would...

The creators of “Chernobyl cheese string” Stick It to the Man have taken to Sony’s latest pre-E3 2018 stream to announce Ghost Giant, a kind of papercraft PlayStation VR adventure where you exist inside a small character named Louis’ world, and you must interact with him in order to help him on his journey.
The

You either loved or hated them, but there's no denying that Fallout 4's base building mechanics formed a large part of the open world experience, which structured itself around defending your outpost from hostile attacks and developing relationships with other settlements. What you might find interesting then is...

Well, here's our first real look at ANTHEM in gameplay form. BioWare showcased around four minutes of the title during EA's EA Play press conference, and the footage gives us a decent enough idea of how the third-person shooter will function.
It's got a bit of exploration, some action, and a brief look at the various...

EA has announced new content arriving for Star Wars Battlefront 2 after months of speculation. New characters will be added to the roster, including fan favourites Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, General Grievous and Count Dooku.
Along with the unveiling is the title for their next season named The Clone...

BioWare's co-op enabled third-person shooter ANTHEM got a confirmed release date at EA's EA Play press conference, and as promised earlier in the year, it'll be launching in the first quarter of 2019.
We actually got a "deep dive" of ANTHEM during the rather dire presser, with members of the BioWare team going over some details about the...

Electronic Arts has announced the next game in its EA Originals program, titled Sea of Solitude.
Described as an adventure that focuses on exploration, the story explores a character named Kay as she tries to find out what happened to her. "On her search to change, she soon finds out that her biggest enemies are not the huge...

During its brief showing on the stage at EA Play, developers from DICE confirmed that Battlefield V will include a Battle Royale mode, because of course it will.
DICE says that Royale will be "unlike anything you've played before", as it brings Battlefield's "core pillars of destruction, team play, and vehicles" to the popular mode...

The announcement of the first Unravel title at EA's E3 2015 show is one of the few bright spots in EA's often uneven shows. The game looked delightful at announce, and ultimately ended up being a rather good game, with wonderful visuals and an exceptional soundtrack. So it's very exciting to see EA greenlight a sequel from...

As you might've expected, Battlefield V received an explosive new trailer during EA's E3 2018 press conference. You can view it above.
Focusing on the multiplayer side of the game, the trailer showcases the variety of vehicles, the impressive destruction, and the ability to move around weapon emplacements. As ever, it looks visually stunning...

E3 2018 is all but here, but you won’t find us cancelling WAYP – no, sir! This is a short edition for obvious reasons, though. Let’s get straight into it, shall we?
Sammy Barker, Editor:
Panic. And I don't mean Trash Panic, either.
Stephen Tailby, Senior Staff Writer:
To counteract the cavalcade of disappointment...

Developer Coldwood Interactive has always stated that it's working on a sequel, but it looks like Unravel 2 is poised for its grand unveiling at this evening's EA Play event. The title's ESRB rating has appeared on the board's website, along with a brief description that hints at some sort of co-op.
The description reads: "This...

Five time Champions League winner Cristiano Ronaldo will once again grace the cover of FIFA 19, fresh from Real Madrid’s latest victory in the prestigious club competition. This is the second time that the former Manchester United forward has appeared on the front of EA Sport’s flagship footie franchise, having rocked up on Pro Evolution...

In what will come as a surprise to just about no one at this point, Electronic Arts has today confirmed that FIFA 19 will indeed include the official Champions League license.
This has long been held exclusively by Konami for their competing Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, but rumours have been swirling since April that EA...

Madden NFL 19’s reveal trailer goes big on New York Giants’ rookie running back Saquon Barkley, as it rattles off some clichés while showing Eli Manning handing off to his new man. There’s not a whole lot to glean from this cinematic footage really, and there was even less meat to the title’s on-stage presentation: Pittsburgh...

Coinciding with the Golden State Warriors winning the NBA final last night, EA squeezed in the announcement trailer for NBA Live 19. Check out the trailer above.
As alluded in the trailer, the game will feature NBA league play as well as street basketball. Returning is The One, a mode in which you create your own unique player and guide...

This year's Days of Play sale is getting started today, and Sony has taken to the PlayStation Blog to promote its range of offers. As well as hardware bundles and discounts on physical games, the PlayStation Store sees a sizeable selection of savings on PS4 and PSVR games, as well as DLC.
Plenty of major titles are included in the

A new Splinter Cell announcement is all but guaranteed for E3 2018 at this point. How so? Well, around a month ago, Walmart Canada supposedly leaked a whole bunch of secret PlayStation 4 titles. The leak included the likes of RAGE 2 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, both of which were officially announced not long after.
It also fe

Bandai Namco has repeatedly stated that SoulCalibur VI will launch this year, but it's now June and we still don't have a confirmed release date. With the latter half of 2018 looking seriously busy, we've been starting to wonder whether the weapon-based fighter will actually make it to store shelves within the next six months.
And...

Sony’s counting down to E3 2018 with a brand new game announcement every single day. And in the aftermath of Tetris Effect and Days Gone's release date, its PlayStation Countdown continues with the announcement of a brand new PS4 games. What could it be? Join us live from 8AM PT/4PM BST to find out...

Ah, good old Electronic Arts. Despite being one of the world's biggest video game publishers, EA can never seem to get its E3 press conferences right. For a few years now, the company has splintered from the Los Angeles event in order to host its own "we promise this has nothing to do with E3" showcases, but everyone still...

Wow, that came out of nowhere. Dead or Alive 6 is official, and it's coming to PlayStation 4 "early" next year. You can get a decent eyeful of the game via the trailer that we've embedded above.
Despite its frankly mental downloadable content shenanigans, we were quite fond of Dead or Alive 5, and this next title looks to build...

If you're lucky enough to be attending E3 2018 in Los Angeles next week, Sony has revealed a collection of PlayStation merchandise you'll be able to get your hands on.
Over on the PlayStation Blog, you can get a preview of what to expect. There's a range of PlayStation branded clothing, God of War figurines, some Kojima Productions merch,...

French developer DONTNOD only recently released Vampyr, but it’s already back with a new title: Twin Mirror. Announced during a PlayStation stream mere minutes ago, the title has definite Life Is Strange vibes, but looks to be taking its story in a darker direction. Fans of Quantic Dream will instantly spot parallels to murder...

E3 is literally hours away from kicking off, so it's time to ask: what PlayStation 4 game are you most excited to see? Is it one of Sony's 'Big Four'? Is it a third party title? We absolutely must know.
But let's get one thing straight, here: we're only counting games that have been officially announced. So this poll...

That Walmart Canada leak continues to deliver. The enormous outage of unannounced games, which has been legitimised by the subsequent reveals of RAGE 2 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, had Just Cause 4 among its listings, and it looks like it's about to be made official.
In the above tweet, you'll b

And so the next great battle of our era awaits: E3 2018 is days away, and sides are already being selected. The tribal element to gaming’s greatest show is tiring and detracts from the celebratory aspect of the event itself, but there’s no getting away from it: a winner will be selected in the heat of the moment – and a victor...

We've seen plenty of footage from the creation toolset in Media Molecule's upcoming title Dreams, but we've not seen a great deal from its story campaign. The above video from PlayStation Access goes through the beginning of the game, introducing the way the story is structured.
As we've come to expect from Media Molecule, it all looks...

Detroit: Become Human’s one of those rare remaining games that you’d expect most people to purchase physically, but it’s done outstandingly well on the PlayStation Store sales charts, suggesting we really are entering a new era for digital downloads. The title was beaten by only God of War in North America,...

Y’know what E3 2018 does? Gets you hyped about video games. But while we doubt you’ll be able to buy The Last of Us: Part II and Death Stranding by the end of next week, you will be able to pick up a bunch of titles discounted as part of Sony’s Days of Play promotion. The digital sale is live now, and will run right the way...

Ooooh, it's that time again! Those of you who have been reading Push Square for a number of years will have no doubt taken part in our annual E3 community quiz before, and now it's back for its fourth year. If you're sitting there scratching your head, have no fear -- we're going to explain what this is all about before we get...

Bandai Namco has announced that Dragon Ball FighterZ is getting its own World Tour, much like Tekken 7. The tour will feature a currently unspecified number of fighting game events around the globe, and it all kicks off at the CEO Fighting Game Championship in Florida on the 29th June.
Details are a little thin right now,...

Never one to shy away from reasonably bold claims, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reckons that the next console generation will be the last of its kind. Once it's done and dusted, Guillemot expects hardware to shift towards streaming services.
"I think we will see another generation, but there is a good chance that step-by-step we...

The fine folks at Avalanche Studios are certainly keeping busy. As well as co-developing RAGE 2 with id Software, the studio has just announced Generation Zero, a brand new open world action game heading to PS4 in 2019. Check out the debut trailer above.
Taking place in 1980s Sweden, Generation Zero sees you going solo...

Paladins, the free-to-play hero shooter from Hi-Rez Studios, has recently been announced for Nintendo Switch, and with it has come the news that the game will support cross-play between various platforms. Unfortunately, PlayStation 4 is not among them, and players aren't best pleased.
The above Tweet from one of the game's developers has...

Sony has already outlined exactly what to expect from its E3 2018 press conference. We'll be getting a closer look at four of its major exclusives: Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us: Part II, and Spider-Man. The thing is, all of these games are looking fantastic, so there's little doubt that we'll be in for an...

Days Gone is revving up its engine ahead of a 22nd February release. Sony confirmed the date as part of its pre-E3 2018 countdown show minutes ago, alongside a new trailer which showcases a ton of new footage – including some terrifying infected animals.
Will you be surviving the harsh post-apocalyptic wilderness next year? Wear your...

We really enjoyed Hitman’s episodic format, but its successor will launch as a full game from day one. IO Interactive has promised a regular stream of content drops and updates, but you won’t have to wait for any of the levels to arrive. Oh, and you’ll be able to play from 13th November – that’s not far away.
The...

Warner Bros is hosting a pre-E3 2018 reveal stream, and we're so confident it's Hitman that we've put it in the headline. Yes, we're going to look like goofballs if this turns out to be anything else, but you'll be able to point your finger in our general direction from 10AM PT/6PM BST.
Warner Bros E3 2018 Live Stream:...

Activision will be bringing three big PlayStation 4 titles to E3 2018, the publisher has announced. Unsurprisingly, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 leads the charge alongside Destiny 2: Forsaken, the latter being the sci-fi shooter's upcoming expansion, which is due to release this September.
We obviously already know quite a bit...

Finding the treasure at the vague location between a playground, campsite, and a footprint is one of the tougher challenges in week six of season four in Fortnite.
Complete it and you'll get a bunch of XP that goes towards those tasty season four rewards though.
Once you've done so, you can get started on the other tough...

Well, May turned out to be a really solid month for PlayStation gaming, despite a lack of big-name releases. It was so solid, in fact, that our Game of the Month nominees list ended up being a lot longer than anticipated. But as always, only one title can be given our prestigious award.
Bronze Trophy:...

Ubisoft always puts on a great E3 press conference. Debuting new titles every year, supporting its already released ones with DLC, and saving big reveals as its "one last thing", the French company has really fine-tuned its style to a tee. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been one or two hiccups along the way. These are Ubisoft's E3...

We all knew this news was coming eventually, and here it is. Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight have both been confirmed for a Western release, and yes, Atlus has altered their names.
The two titles will launch in early 2019 for both PlayStation 4 and Vita, and they'll feature full English...

Is this an official channel? Right now, that’s the big question mark looming over this new PlayStation Music YouTube channel, because if it isn’t then it’s about to get stung by a series of copyright strikes and shut down. But if it is, then it has the potential to blossom into something very exciting indeed:...

Rebellion knows its way around a good co-op game, so there’s very little to not like about the upcoming Strange Brigade – a 1930s-themed pulp adventure for up to four players. This brand new E3 2018 trailer shows the title off in all of its glory, demonstrating the extent of its gameplay variety – and also its cast’s unique...

E3 2018 is mere days away, and as is the case every year, "leaked" documents are doing the rounds on the internet. But there's one in particular that we've seen covered on numerous websites as if it actually carries some weight. We're not quite sure where it originated, but it doesn't really matter when it's clearly nonsense to...

Holy crap, is it actually happening? Thanks to some super sleuthing from Gematsu, it would appear that Bandai Namco is preparing a Tales of Vesperia-related announcement for E3 2018. Naturally, fans of the Japanese role-playing series have lost their minds over the news.
If you're wondering why that is, it's because Vesperia is widely...

We hope that you like low sales numbers, because that's what you're getting with the latest Japanese charts. Still sitting at the top of the software pile is Dark Souls Remastered on PlayStation 4, which somehow managed to retain its position with a mere 19,900 copies. Newcomer BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle barely put up a fight...

We're due to see a bit more of Ghost of Tsushima, the latest title from Sucker Punch, during Sony's E3 2018 conference, but up to now, we've seen and heard very little about the project. However, these two pieces of concept art have emerged online, and they're rather lovely.
The debut trailer looked similarly gorgeous, and we're...

As the classic Offspring yodel goes: as long as you’re swinging strong then you’ll get by. Spider-Man must take these lessons to heart, as it suits up and prepares to thwip into its third successive E3 press conference. Unlike the other “deep dives” that Sony’s promised, we’ve seen a lot more of...

Well this is going to be bloody good. Rez Infinite is already one of the best experiences you can have on PlayStation VR, and now Tetsuya Mizuguchi is back with a trippy twist on a classic: Tetris Effect. The debut trailer definitely has a Rez aesthetic to it, but it’s backed by the auteur’s signature electropop sound.
The game will...

Detroit: Become Human has sold more copies in two weeks than Heavy Rain did in its entire lifespan in Japan, making it Quantic Dream’s most successful game of all time in the territory. While the retail sales don’t make for particularly impressive reading in our Media Create report, 56k units is remarkable for an extremely...

Remember a while back when a group of Skate fans rallied together to spam the message "#Skate4" on all of EA's Instagram posts? And then an EA employee Tweeted out the hashtag, which of course went viral? Rumours surrounding a possible Skate 4 have been on and off for some years now, but a fresh clue has emerged, and...

Capcom’s announced its lineup of playable E3 2018 games, and it’s more or less what you’d expect from the publisher. Perhaps more than anyone, it’s the Blue Bomber that’s headlining the showfloor for the firm, which is a sentence we never thought we’d write given all of the hullabaloo with Mighty No. 9. But yes, both Mega...

From the embers of the Push Square Podcast rises Indie Bin – a feature that draws attention to some of the smaller games in PlayStation's busy release schedule. Once the Indie Bin is full, we'll put it out for collection in these consolidated articles featuring several pint-sized reviews. The metric...

This is the thirty-third week of our Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament, and the first week of top 8 matches. 128 characters enter, but only one will be crowned champion -- and you decide who that champion will be.

The EA showcase has been an E3 mainstay for generations now, but its conference always goes one way or the other. In recent years, it has been synonymous with the "worst conference of the show" award, whether that's thanks to factors outside of the games themselves, or a lacklustre showing in terms of reveals. These are...

Unbelievably, legendary shmup Ikaruga has never weaved its way onto a PlayStation platform before – until now. Treasure has been teasing the release of the iconic polarity-switching scroller on the PlayStation 4, with a full announcement due at E3 2018 next week. The game will subsequently be “released soon”.
There have been...

Atlus is set to announce two new titles on 7th June, and it’s looking like they’ll be Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night. Gematsu’s uncovered a directory on the label’s official website which it believes will host the website for the pair of pirouetting spin-offs, although obviously file...

Here we are then: the beginning of the end for Clementine and Telltale’s take on The Walking Dead. The developer has attached a 14th August release date to the latest season of the fan favourite franchise, with pre-orders scheduled to open on 8th June. Purchase on the PlayStation Store, and you’ll get free access to The Walking Dead:...

Last year’s instalment of The Game Awards was by far the best show that Geoff Keighley’s put together, so it’s reassuring to learn that the event will return on Thursday, 6th December. “Our team is deep into planning the 2018 show, which will be our biggest production yet,” the Canadian said. “We’re taking all the...

Combat in Vampyr is like a combination of Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham Knight, and Bloodborne. You hack and slash your way through enemies, dodge and parry their attacks, and use special abilities to both heal yourself and harm others.
While it's a pretty simple affair, there is a lot of depth to it that you might not realise at...

Onrush is a very different kind of arcade racer, so we’ve put together some tips and tricks to help make you the MVP in every race. You’re going to need to forget every road rule you’ve learned over the past 30 years, because Codemasters’ latest plays unlike anything else. In this guide, we’re going to talk you through...

Every year, one of E3's biggest games gets pasted across the towers of The Hotel Figueroa in Los Angeles. We're going to assume that this prime advertising space costs quite a bit of cash to secure, so the fact that Bethesda's nabbed it for Fallout 76 is perhaps an indication that the publisher is going all-in on...

Sony’s definitely been experimenting with different press conference formats over the past year, and one of its bolder ideas at E3 2017 was to deliver an hour-long pre-show prior to the main event itself. For many, the pre-show was better than the briefing that followed, bringing a wide-array of...

Streaming service PlayStation Now has been quietly amassing an enormous software library, and in the United States it’s just topped 650 games. That’s a lot of content on-demand for a nominal monthly fee, with the platform holder putting the service on sale through 25th September.
From today, newcomers will be able to get their first...

On a surface level it's easy to look at BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle and dub it Arc System Works Asset Reuse: The Game. In some ways that snarky title is disappointingly accurate, but it ignores the effort that's gone into making this stylish 2D fighter a lot of fun to play.
Tag Battle features characters from four different...

Get them while they're hot! This month's complimentary collection of PlayStation Plus titles is now ready to download in Europe, with availability in the Americas to follow suit in due course.
As a reminder, the PS4 games you can look forward to for June are the brilliant sci-fi strategy game XCOM 2, and the fun, addictive...

It’s not a popular opinion, but Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was up there with Mario Kart in our eyes – and just a pointed snout behind Crash Team Racing, which is still gaming’s greatest ever kart racer, of course. Team Sonic Racing comes with credentials, then – even if it is lacking the...

Onrush has a Trophy named ‘Which Way Is Up?’ which requires you to perform a Vomit Comet action. So how do you get it? We’re going to explain how in this guide.

Vancouver-based developer Hollow Tree Games has come a long way since its first Kickstarter for Shape of the World in 2015. It's exciting that new IPs such as this can be realised with the right practice, and the studio's hard work over the past three or so years has largely paid off.
Shape of the World is a delightfully...

E3 2018 may be right around the corner, but the games industry sleeps for no one. This week's PlayStation Store update is actually a surprisingly meaty one, with two relatively high-profile titles in the form of Vampyr and Onrush vying for your attention. There’s also new The Elder Scrolls Online content to look forward to, as well...

Vampyr might ask you to spend most of your time locked in dialogue with its cast of colourful characters, but it's first and foremost an RPG. That means experience, skill systems, and upgradable weapons. However, it's also a narrative adventure like Life is Strange, so the developers have tied the two genres together by providing the best XP...

Wreck-It Ralph 2’s trailer broke the Internet earlier this week, and fans have spent days looking for Easter eggs as the eponymous hero (?) heads down the cyber-highway for an all-new adventure. But one reference that may have been overlooked among Twitter’s iconic blue birds and all of the Disney princesses ever is… Gran...

The future's suddenly looking a lot brighter for Destiny 2 off the back of Bungie's latest livestream. Earlier, the developer outlined the big changes hitting its shooter this September, as the alterations are rolled out alongside the title's next expansion, Destiny 2: Forsaken.
Let's run through the core gameplay changes first...

Bethesda will be hosting its fourth E3 press conference at this year's show, but it's still had plenty of time over the past three years to wow audiences with some classic moments, and try to make us forget about one or two lowlights. Let's look back on them.
DOOM rips and tears with an impressive showing:
Press had...

Code Vein has a release date on PlayStation 4. Bandai Namco's action role-playing title takes heavy inspiration from the likes of Dark Souls and mixes it with a bit of God Eater. The game's looked decent enough based on what we've seen of it so far, but the jury's out on whether it can stand alongside its inspirations.
Unfortunately,...

It's time to learn what Bungie has in store for the second year of Destiny 2 -- and what we can expect from the game's big Fall expansion, titled Destiny 2: Forsaken.
The developer will be hosting its livestream from 17:00 UK time -- that's 15 minutes from when this article is published. Hopefully it'll provide plenty of information on...

In the two months since its release, the general consensus surrounding Far Cry 5 has settled on it being a solid experience but also one that didn’t bring anything new to the table. In the hope of finding something fresh, series fans have been placing their bets on the game’s post-launch DLC to satisfy those needs. The...

We know that Bethesda likes to launch its games quite quickly following their initial reveals, so we wouldn't be at all surprised to see the recently announced Fallout 76 release this year. However, according to the title's original Amazon product page, the game could actually hit store shelves as early as next month...

Sony’s counting down to E3 2018 by making a new announcement every single day starting from 6th June running right the way through to the organisation’s press conference on 11th June. The appetisers will air live at 8AM PT/4PM BST every day, and will span everything from a first-party release date through to brand new games...

DONTNOD has so far released two games: 2013's often forgotten Remember Me and the breakout success Life Is Strange. Vampyr is the ambitious company's latest project, and it combines the action of the former with the narrative focus of the latter.
You play as Jonathan E. Reid, an acclaimed surgeon recently turned vampire who's...

In potentially controversial news, Red Dead Redemption 2 will include timed exclusive content on the PlayStation 4. We’ve known for some time that Sony is the lead marketing partner on the Rockstar release, but a PlayStation Store pre-order page has shed a little more light on the relationship, revealing that “select...

The year is 2010, and publishers are starting to spend more and more money on E3. In particular, companies like Sony and Microsoft are embracing E3 as means of generating hype and excitement for upcoming hardware and software. A global stage where dreams are made and fanboy tears are shed.
And then, there's Konami. At...

Bungie has been busy bigging up Destiny 2's second year of content, and ahead of its planned reveal livestream tomorrow, it's dropped a teaser for the shooter's Fall expansion. It's called -- rather ironically, if you're feeling snarky -- Destiny 2: Forsaken.
Going by the little clip that the developer's posted to Twitter, the...

Like a Hitman mission that goes horribly awry, Agent 47 has fluffed his lines here. Danish developer IO Interactive hinted at Hitman news earlier today, with publishing partner Warner Bros promptly following up with a video clip of an F1 race track. It seems both parties have been teasing Hitman 2, as t

There’s a new PlayStation commercial, and if you’ve been around since the PSone days, then this may feel like familiar territory. It’s more of a mood piece, built upon the slogan ‘Play Fearlessly’. To be honest, we’re not sure we fully understand it; we could put on our Media Studies hat and write a more thoughtful...

As we've come to expect from all major gaming releases, Red Dead Redemption 2 has plenty of bonuses and options to consider when you're laying down your pre-order. Rockstar has just published a post on its website detailing each version of the game, and what each box will contain.
Firstly, all pre-orders will gain access to the War...

A new target is in Agent 47’s sights, and we’ll get all of the details on 7th June. The official Hitman Twitter account has teased new content for IO Interactive’s stealth action smash, which may mark the first meaningful update since the studio’s transition to independent outfit.
Exactly what the Danish...

For the first time in a while, we've got a slew of new releases to write about when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts. Regular readers may have noticed that we actually missed the charts last week (you can blame Overlord Barker for that), so we're catching up now.
Okay, where to start? Well, the software charts were...

Much has been made of Sony’s change in approach to its E3 press conferences over the past two years. With a shorter run time and less people on stage, the company lets the games do the talking. But has this resulted in more brand new experiences being announced for PlayStation platforms?...

As you might've imagined, eagle-eyed Devil May Cry fans have been scouring the internet for clues about the heavily rumoured Devil May Cry 5. The latest find, however, could be the biggest hint that the game will be formally announced very soon indeed -- most likely at E3 2018, which gets started in just a few days.
The website...

Yes, readers – E3 2018 is very much around the corner. The social media teasing never ends, and now it’s the turn of Warner Bros to take to Twitter with vague promises. The short video clip shows what appears to be some kind of racing game, but we reckon this may be a bait-and-switch and actually related to the...

Thanks to aggressive in-store promotions, along with the recent World Cup content update, FIFA 18 has landed back atop the charts, putting an early end to Detroit: Become Human's run as the bestseller. Quantic Dream's "most successful game so far" has to settle for second place, while God of War moves back up to fourth.
Meanwhile,...

The reception to Lords of the Fallen, a fairly blatant Dark Souls clone, was rather lukewarm, but that hasn't stopped publisher CI Games from giving the series another shot. Lords of the Fallen 2 is in development, and in a statement on its website, the publisher has partnered with a new developer to work on the sequel.
Defiant Studios is a...

THQ Nordic’s re-Mars-tered edition of explosive PlayStation 3 open worlder Red Faction Guerrilla will drive its little space buggy to the PlayStation 4 from 3rd July. The game will run in 1080p at 60 frames-per-second on the standard PS4, or in 1500p at 60 frames-per-second on the PS4 Pro. Alternatively, you’ll be able to play in 4K...

Rocket League is no stranger to crossover content. You may remember a while back, when the DeLorean from Back to the Future became available in Psyonix's ever-popular arcade game, as well as the Batmobile from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Continuing its run of movie tie-ins

Sony is approaching things differently when it comes to E3 2018, as its first-party focus will lie at the feet of four exclusive games when PlayStation takes to the stage. Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, and The Last of Us: Part II are all planning on wowing audiences around the world with brand new trailers...

Detroit: Become Human got a generally strong reception from critics, but the feedback from fans has been overwhelmingly positive thus far. And it sounds like Quantic Dream’s sci-fi opus has been a hit commercially as well, as bigwig Guillaume de Fondaumière has tweeted that the title is the French studio's “most...

ANTHEM, the new Destiny-esque co-operative game from Mass Effect developer BioWare, is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of E3 2018 – even though there are question marks over its ability to deliver something new and original. And in less than a week’s time, you’ll be learning a lot more about the title at...

Deep Down, the game that debuted during the PlayStation 4’s reveal conference, has been missing in action for many a year now – but Capcom’s filed a request to extend the medieval title’s trademark, prompting fresh speculation about the status of the once anticipated foray. It’s been over three years since we last got an

E3 season is always about dreaming big. Sony's 2015 press conference is of course the perfect example of fan-fiction turned reality with the re-reveal of The Last Guardian and the outlandish announcements of Final Fantasy VII Remake and Shenmue III dominating chatter for that particular year. But sometimes it's a good idea to put...

We're already half-way through 2018 - how did that happen? More pertinently, how come June plays host to a surprising number of notable game releases? It might not be a patch on May's busy release schedule, but for a traditionally slow month (and one dominated by E3 news) there's a fair amount to look forward to. So, what's out in June...
